Can I afford this purchase?
Can I Afford This? is a playful yes, no or maybe spinner for small everyday purchases. Think of the item, tap Spin and use the answer as a gut check. It is a tiebreaker, not financial advice. For big purchases, make a budget instead. It is free.
Run a quick yes/no/maybe gut-check before you tap "Buy now."

A simple rule of thumb
If "no" feels like relief, you didn't really want it. If "yes" feels like permission you were waiting for, you probably can — and probably should — make the call deliberately. This tool is a tiebreaker, not a budget.
Questions to ask before you spin
- Could I pay for this in full today without touching savings or bills?
- Will I still want it in 30 days? If you're unsure, add it to a wish list and check back.
- What is the cost per use? A $120 jacket worn 100 times costs less per wear than a $40 one worn twice.
- Is there something I would rather spend this money on?
How to use the result
Treat "Maybe" as a 48-hour wait. Treat "Yes" as a prompt to check your account balance, not as approval. If the purchase is large — rent, a car, a loan or anything you would pay off over time — skip the wheel entirely and make a written budget instead. The wheel is for small, everyday choices where either answer is fine.
