Impulse buying, reframed

That $60 thing isn't $60. It's a full day at work.

Ya Broke turns an impulse buy into what it actually costs you: hours of your life, and the little things you'd genuinely miss. See the real trade before you tap buy, and talk yourself out of it.

Free on Android. Nothing to link, ready in seconds.

Let's do the maths

You're not bad with money. You just never see what things really cost.

Dollars are abstract. These two are not. Ya Broke shows both, the moment the urge hits.

⏳

Hours of your life

A $60 buy is roughly a full day at work. Boss, commute, that one coworker, all of it. Would you redo today just for this? Usually the urge dies right there.

$60 ≈ 1 full work day
🧋

Your own vice currency

Pick the stuff you actually love (matcha lattes, boba, whatever it is for you). Now that jacket costs 20 matcha lattes. Framed that way, it's a lot easier to skip.

1 jacket = 20 matcha lattes
How it works

Three taps, one honest moment.

No bank logins, no setup marathon. Log the thing, see the truth, decide.

Drop in whatever you're eyeing. A name and a price is all it takes, about three seconds.

Skip & save, or give in

Skip it and the money slides into a goal you care about. Give in and it goes to the Graveyard, where Dusty keeps the receipts.

Meet Dusty

Your perpetually broke wallet moth.

Dusty lives in the app, sarcastic and weirdly supportive, like a broke friend who actually gets it. He throws a line when you open up and quietly roots for you to keep your money. He is seasoning, not a lecture.
