One click makes spending painless. That is exactly the problem.
Direct answer
To spend less online, add friction: remove saved cards and one-click checkout, delete shopping apps, unsubscribe from promotions, and use the cart as a wish list that you revisit after at least a day. Plan your purchases and set a monthly limit.
Habits that help
- Remove stored payment details.
- Log out of shopping sites.
- Use a list, not browsing, to shop.
- Wait 24 hours before checkout.
- Check total cost including shipping and returns.
- Read reviews with a critical eye.
- Track monthly online spending in a note.
- Set a monthly limit and stop when you reach it.
Watch out for
- "Free shipping over" thresholds that make you add more.
- Subscription traps after free trials.
- Sale emails that arrive at pay time.
