Your Type
Your strategy after buying something is: let time pass. You don't check bills, don't track spending, and sometimes intentionally avoid recalling how much you spent. It's not that you don't know there's an issue — you just have a psychological defense mechanism operating on the principle that 'if I don't look at it, it doesn't exist'. This mindset protects your emotions short-term, but long-term, bills don't disappear because you ignored them; they just quietly accumulate somewhere unobserved. Try setting a habit of spending just five minutes on your accounts once a month — you don't need full understanding, just partial engagement.
