Everyone congratulate me for going cold turkey on my in app purchases for my silly little game

So.... We all do this? It.... It's not just a weird quirky me thing? Well holy shit. I've been cleansed of my guilt!
It’s definitely an ADHD thing…. Because in app purchases are one of the easiest things to impulse buy😅
It makes so much sense. Yet another thing I genuinely didn't realize was an ADHD thing.
I swear these apps are specifically targeting us since a lot of these things are like “buy it now or lose the offer forever!” so we impulsively give our money over for shit that doesn’t exist
YES!!! I have rules - if my little piggy bank price is more than $5, I play until I hit an unpassable level and then uninstall. If it's under $5, I will just keep playing forever. My brain gets ultra focused on match 3 games. I got bored with PokemonGo - thank goodness - I'm pretty sure I spent $1000 on that game over multiple years. This actually makes me feel better about my purchases. Now... If I could just uninstall Amazon Prime, I'd probably be rich!
It’s a few weeks since I’ve spent any on my main problem game, I’m honestly pretty excited to be able to stretch my next cheque further and spend that money on real things instead!! Pretty confident I’ll be able to keep at it as long as I never make a single purchase on that game again and fall down the rabbit hole…. Glad I could make you feel a little better about it😅
