I built a tiny app that tells you if you can afford something before buying it, would love feedback

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a small side project to help with impulse spending. You type in a price, and it shows how risky the purchase is based on a sample budget + gives gentle nudges (like the 72-hour rule). It’s more about awareness than strict budgeting. Just launched a simple landing page + waitlist, and I’d genuinely love feedback on: * Does the idea make sense? * Is the UI confusing? * Would something like this be useful?
