Hello Hacker News! I&#x27;m Justin, creator of Purchase Plan. This is the first side-project I&#x27;ve launched for others to use.<p>Over the past few years, I&#x27;ve struggled with a problem that&#x27;s familiar to many of us. I have a limited set of money but a lot of stuff I need to buy. Overall, I&#x27;m a pretty good budgeter and financial planner. But, can you guess what I chose when I saved enough to either replace my broken screen door or buy that new Fellow Pour-Over Kit?<p>I was saving my money but getting caught up in impulse purchases whenever I had it.<p>That&#x27;s when I decided to make Purchase Plan. Now, I have a beautiful list of the things I need (OK, some things I just want) to buy. Each time I get paid, I look at the top of the list first and buy whatever I planned. No more impulse spending.<p>I&#x27;ve also noticed that whenever I find something new to buy, simply adding it to Purchase Plan provides the same gratification as clicking &quot;purchase&quot;. So it&#x27;s helped me overcome my impulse spending both when I do and when I don&#x27;t have money saved.<p>I hope this tool is as helpful to you as it is to me!
