Questions and answers
Must I remove every saved card?
Not necessarily. Choose a pause or confirmation suited to your risk and convenience.
Why can waiting until morning help?
It separates the decision from fatigue and immediate emotion.
Does a card limit replace a budget?
No. It restricts transactions under service rules, while a budget covers all spending.
