The Doom Spending Tracker quantifies anxiety-driven impulse purchases — the late-night scrolling buys, stress shopping, and emotional spending that compound to thousands annually. Categorized into doom scrolling (Amazon at 2am), stress shopping (after bad meetings), and emotional buys (post-argument retail therapy). Calculator projects 10-year invested value at 7% — typical user discovers $300/month doom spend = $52k over 10 years.

Is all impulse spending bad?

No — joyful, occasional impulse purchases are part of a healthy budget. Doom spending specifically refers to anxiety-driven, low-satisfaction buys that compound over time.
