Wasted gives you that pause by reframing the cost in terms that actually matter - your time.                                                         \n                                                                                                                                 \nFEATURES                                                                                                                       \n• Convert any price to working hours instantly\n• Automatic tax estimation for accurate take-home pay calculations\n• Salary calculator if you don't know your hourly rate\n• Clean, distraction-free design\n• 100% private, all data stays on your device                                                                                 \n                                                                                                                                 \nTHE PSYCHOLOGY OF SPENDING\nResearch shows that thinking about purchases in terms of time rather than money leads to better financial decisions. Wasted puts this insight in your pocket.                                                                                              \n                                                                                                                                 \nYour time is your most valuable asset.
