An app that discourages people from making impulse purchases has become a hit.
The Chinese have found an unusual way to protect the wallet from unnecessary expenses. The "wallet, wait" application has gone viral on WeChat, when before the purchase you have to explain why you need the item, how much it costs and whether there are cheaper options. After that, the request can be approved or rejected by relatives and even strangers.
The service quickly gained popularity, and in a short time more than 300 thousand people joined it. Some asked for permission to buy a new iPhone, others asked for advice on an inexpensive dinner.
— Russians need those too.
- I will still buy.
