🔥 What Is the Panic Tax?
The Panic Tax is the invisible 30-40% extra you spend when you're stressed, rushed, or operating without margin.
Common Panic Tax expenses:
- 🍕 DoorDash instead of cooking ($15 → $30)
- 🚗 Uber instead of planning ahead ($25 vs. $5 metro)
- 💳 Late fees, convenience fees, rush shipping
- 🛒 Impulse buys to "treat yourself" after bad days
- 📱 Premium subscriptions you barely use
