people think automation = efficiency. behavioral econ says otherwise. writing expenses != passive viewing. studies show manual note-taking boosts memory & engagement. active learning > passive observation. your 'smart' budget app is making you dumber. #manualbudgeting

loss aversion: losing $20 hurts more than gaining $20 feels good.
auto-budgeting hides the losses. manual tracking? you *feel* every expense.
that pain's the point. it's why you spend less.
don't let algos dull your senses. embrace the sting.

behavioral econ 101: pain of payment decreases with abstraction. cash > card > auto-sync. the mit credit card study proves this. people spend 100% more. manual budgeting = built-in friction. your "smart" app is making you dumb. #behavioraleconomics #budgeting

loss aversion: feeling the pain of losing $100 > pleasure of gaining $100.
manual budgeting taps this hard. every expense *feels* like a loss. see the number go down. not some abstract auto-sync.
lose more, spend less. simple as. ditch the robots. #behavioralecon

transaction decoupling: the devil in auto-pay details. credit cards + auto-sync = zero pain of payment. mit study: people spend way more with cards. manual budgeting? friction city. awareness = control. effortless = broke. think about it.

auto-budgeting feels easy, but ease comes at a cost. mit study: people spend 100% more with credit cards. that's *friction* at work. manual tracking = pain of payment = less waste. abstraction kills your bank account. #behavioralecon #budgeting

diderot effect: buy a new couch, suddenly your whole living room is trash. automated budgets can't stop it, they just track the wreckage. manual tracking *forces* you to confront the domino effect. less spending, more conscious choices.

One of the harshest lessons I ever learned: always embed a Stripe checkout rather than redirecting the user
~60% of our users were accessing via Safari and it blocks third-party redirects 🚫
Checkout didn’t work for them. The amount of money left on the table still makes me ill 🤢
