Understand my spending triggers and stop impulse buying

Help me understand why I impulse-buy and build habits to spend more on purpose. Recent purchases I regret or didn't plan: [LIST with rough amounts] When and where they happen: [e.g. "late at night on my phone", "after a hard day", "at checkout lines", "when friends suggest it"] How I felt before and after: [e.g. "bored then guilty", "stressed then relieved"] Payment methods I use: [saved cards, one-click buying, buy-now-pay-later, cash] What I'd rather spend that money on: [GOALS] Give me: 1. The patterns you see: the main triggers (emotion, time of day, place, social pressure, sales and marketing tactics) based only on what I shared. 2. 5-7 specific friction tactics matched to my triggers - for example removing saved cards, a 48-hour wait list, unsubscribing from sale emails, a shopping list rule, muting shopping apps. 3. A replacement plan for each emotional trigger: what to do instead when I feel that way. 4. A small "guilt-free spending" amount each month so the plan is sustainable, not strict. 5. A 30-day challenge with a simple weekly check-in to track progress. Keep it kind and non-judgmental. If spending feels out of control, is hiding debts from people close to me, or is tied to strong mood swings, suggest talking with a counselor or a support group - that's common and nothing to be ashamed of.
