Are you concerned about impulsive shopping habits or struggling with compulsive purchasing behaviors? Do you find yourself regretting expenditures on items that later prove unnecessary? SpendWise offers a structured approach to fostering mindful and intentional spending by integrating principles from frugal living and mindfulness practices.

The platform guides users through an eight-step process designed to promote reflection and restraint before making unnecessary purchases:

  • Identify the urge to buy an item that may not be essential.
  • Utilize the website or app sharing feature to import product details into SpendWise.
  • Temporarily pause the decision by closing the shopping application.
  • Receive a reminder after a customizable period of 30 days to reconsider the purchase.
  • Complete a guided questionnaire prompting reflection on the necessity of the item, including considerations of affordability and true need.
  • Decide whether to proceed with or dismiss the purchase, with SpendWise providing statistics on total savings achieved by resisting impulsive buying.
  • Celebrate your financial discipline and savings.
  • Develop sustainable habits to resist future impulsive purchases.

Core Functionality

  • Adding products to a personalized wishlist.
  • Importing product details from supported websites via the sharing functionality, including Amazon, AliExpress, Shopify stores, and others.
  • Sending notifications and setting reminders after predetermined waiting periods (e.g., 30, 60, 180, 365 days) or custom intervals.
  • Support for multiple currencies to accommodate international use.

Guided Questionnaire

  • The platform prompts users with reflective questions about their intended purchase—assessing necessity, affordability, and long-term value.

Statistics and Insights

  • Total monetary savings achieved by delaying or avoiding purchases.
  • Average waiting times before purchasing decisions are made.
  • Typical price points of items purchased after reflection.
  • The percentage of items ultimately purchased post-waiting period.
  • Data visualizations such as bubble charts, histograms, and word clouds to illustrate purchasing patterns and savings.

The SpendWise methodology is rooted in the well-established 30-Day rule advocated by minimalists. This approach encourages individuals to wait for a month before finalizing non-essential purchases—particularly costly ones—to distinguish between impulsive desires and genuine needs. The application facilitates this process by enabling users to import desired products, set reminder intervals, and receive timely notifications, fostering deliberate decision-making. Ultimately, SpendWise assists users in recognizing their capacity for financial restraint while celebrating savings achieved through mindful planning.
