## What is SpendSmart?

SpendSmart helps you stop impulse purchases before they happen.

The idea is simple: before you buy something, enter the price into SpendSmart. It instantly converts that price into the number of hours you would have to work to afford it — based on your own income. Instead of asking only "Can I afford this?", SpendSmart helps you ask a better question: "Is this worth the hours of my life it costs?"

That one pause — thinking once before the buy — is what changes spending habits.

With SpendSmart, you can:
- Turn any price into work hours
- Build a deliberate pause between impulse and purchase
- Track skipped purchases and total money saved
- Set savings goals and follow your progress
- Stay motivated with milestones and the 100 Envelope Challenge
- Personalize the app with your income, currency, and return-rate settings
- Keep all your information stored locally on your device

Why SpendSmart stands out:
- Built around the real moment of decision, right before you buy
- Focused on impulse control, not heavy budgeting
- Makes the tradeoff behind spending feel immediate and personal
- Turns skipped purchases into visible progress

Who it is for:
- People trying to stop impulse buying
- Anyone who wants to save more without complex money tracking
- Users who feel small purchases add up too fast
- Professionals who want a more intentional relationship with money

SpendSmart gives you a fast, practical way to think before you buy, save more over time, and stay connected to your bigger goals.
