There is money that leaves your account while you are thinking about something else. A free trial you meant to cancel in April. The third charger, because you could not find the first two. An entire tub of protein powder, bought for the version of you who was going to start running.
TaxBack is where you write that down. That is mostly it.
Money that goes while your attention is elsewhere. Everyone does it a bit. ADHD does it more often, and more expensively, and then charges you again in shame afterwards.
You already know you do it. Knowing has never been the hard part.
You meant to cancel it in April.
The spinach knew before you did.
It made complete sense at 2am.
The wool is still in the crates.
The return window closed. The parcel stayed.
You had the money. You had the app open. Anyway.

You can log that here. It is a small thing and it is weirdly the reason I still open it.
Every budgeting app I downloaded promised to sort my finances out. I deleted all of them. This one is not going to sort your finances out either, and I would rather say that on the homepage than have you find out in week two.
Which is my birthday, which was either very good planning or very ADHD planning and I genuinely cannot tell you which. Leave your email and I will send you the link on the day, plus one before that when pre-orders open. Two emails. That is the whole plan.
Two emails before launch, then only when there is something worth saying. Unsubscribe in one tap. I am never selling your address to anyone.
