I use cashback rewards as my “slow living budget”

I’ve started doing something that helps me spend more intentionally.

When I buy something I genuinely need, I set aside any cashback or rewards I earn into a separate “slow living” fund.

I only use that money for items that truly improve daily life, like replacing a worn-out pan or buying one durable item after letting go of something I no longer use.

It’s a small habit, but it makes spending feel more deliberate and grounded. Instead of buying things impulsively, I wait until I can use that fund for something meaningful.

Has anyone else created a system like this to encourage more intentional spending?
