Man, reading this felt like looking in a mirror. I tried the notebook thing last year after my wife bet me I couldn't stick with it for a month, and I lost that bet but I also found about $180 I was blowing on vending machine junk and in-app stuff. What really helped me was switching to just checking my bank app every Sunday night and writing down anything I didn't remember, since carrying a notebook around got old fast. The gas station snack runs were my worst habit by far, so I started keeping a bag of almonds in my desk drawer and that alone cut out most of it. It's wild how the small stuff sneaks up on you, and I still catch myself doing it sometimes.

Stop trusting the label and watch what actually grows.

Did you reach out to NAPA about the bad wrench or just eat the cost?
