How much of your life does this purchase cost?
A price in money is abstract. In working hours, it is not. Answer five questions and see how much of your time that item consumes — then decide calmly.

Five questions, two minutes
No sign-up and no charge. The math runs on the server and the result appears right away.
The item
What you are thinking of buying, in your own words.
The motivation
The trigger behind the urge. Naming it is already half the decision.
The real cost
The price of the item, without shipping or interest.
The context
An estimate of your monthly income and how you would pay. No judgment.
The tracking
An email for the reminder and, if you like, the link to watch the price.
Why hours, not money
An item priced at 1,500 looks expensive or cheap depending on the day. Three hundred working hours leave no doubt.
