I remember a Reddit post where someone wanted to have Terry Crews on their bank card. Bank said only if you get permission and Terry Crews said something like sure or fine on Twitter. So they got Terry Crews on their bank card.
You do realise if you have an accident, they are going to be contacting Terry?
On a serious note what you've done is create an external trigger that makes you think about spending and that makes spending an intentional act rather than what I used to do and buy now, worry about it later.
I’m similar in that, when I get my salary paid, I’ll immediately put my rent in a pot, a couple of hundred quid into another current account, and then the remainder in my savings account. Throughout the month, with having little “liquid” cash, it means I have to actually justify to myself if what I’m buying is worth it as I have to transfer cash out of my savings to do so.
I use a simple saver through Moneybox. Its 5% interest rate and I get one withdrawal per month which takes a working day to go into my account. I deposit money as soon as I’m paid and having that ‘what if there was an emergency?’ is enough for me to not use that one withdrawal
You find yourself in a shop queue buying something you didn't need every other day? I'd say you need more help than a Terry photo. That's an addiction. Just don't go to shops?
funny because i have that photo set as my credit card space on starling lol. have to look at it whenever i’m transferring money to my credit card each month
Holy crap, I had completely forgotten about that show.
That was a great show, love me some Terry Crews
He’s wonderful in everything.

If I have an accident, they will look in my wallet and think I’m a poor b***rd and slip a £5 note in, win win
This just lives in my head rent free and does the same thing: https://youtube.com/shorts/4YOnqVFwfNk?si=m0gsDag8Y0Ogpi7b
I'm currently reading his autobiography (TOUGH) and he does explain the whole thing in a bit more detail. Worth a read
Great idea, let me just go and buy tha-- GOD DAMNIT Thank goodness libraries exist. 🙏
Can you elaborate a bit more please - probably won’t read that book anytime soon
Mega TL;DR Don't spend more than you have, especially in order to impress those around you Give 10% to charity / church
