## What is Mom, Can I buy it??

Can I Buy It? is a playful purchase-check app that helps you avoid impulse buying before quick spending turns into checkout regret.

Before you buy, ask Mom. Add the item, make your case, answer a quick set of reality-check questions, and get a clearer verdict: buy, wait, or skip. The app turns tempting carts into calmer decisions with cooling-off timers, purchase scores, mood tracking, budget guardrails, and savings goals.

Use it when you are staring at an Amazon cart, debating a sale, shopping late at night, or wondering if something is a real need or just a very persuasive want.

Features:

- Make Your Case: answer a fun guided questionnaire before buying
- Purchase Score: see how thoughtful or impulsive a purchase looks
- Score Receipts: understand the exact reasons a score moved
- Waiting Room: put items on a cooling-off timer before checkout
- Mood Tracking: notice whether boredom, stress, tiredness, or influence affects your spending
- Regret Checklist: check reviews, fees, dimensions, alternatives, return policy, and more
- Auto Guardrails: turn risky patterns into rules that add wait time
- Work-Hours Calculator: see what an item costs in time, not just money
- Savings Goals: track skipped purchases toward trips, a car fund, emergency fund, or your own goals
- Real Savings: mark when skipped-purchase money actually moves somewhere useful
- Spending Guardrail: keep an eye on your monthly fun-money budget
- Pattern Insights: learn your danger days, common shopping moods, top merchants, saved vs bought history, and avoided spending
- One-Time Full Access: add unlimited purchase cases with a single upgrade

Can I Buy It? is not about guilt. It is about giving future-you a vote before present-you taps buy now.

Save the item. Make the case. Let the cart cool down.
