Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My card is saved everywhere, so checkout is a single tap from any app or email that catches my eye
• On my card, every purchase feels free in the moment because the bill is weeks away
• Every time I cancel something and tell myself I’ll save the difference, the money just gets absorbed into other spending and I never actually see it pile up
• Tapping a card or letting things auto-pay, I never actually feel the money leave
• I keep telling myself I’ll save whatever’s left at the end of the month, and somehow there’s never anything left
