💸 Spending Scenarios — How Each DNA Type Reacts
🛍️ Your favorite brand launches an epic 70% off sale. You've added 10+ items to cart.
🎯 "Sale or not, if I don't need it, I don't buy it." Empties cart, buys only 1 item
✨ "70% off is great value. Let me narrow to what I'll use in 3 months." Checks reviews, narrows to 3
💖 "This feels amazing~! Full cart checkout!" Excitedly buys all 10
🔥 "Discount or not, spending is spending." Buys 1 essential, redirects rest to investments
💸 "This is destiny! Perfect for my style!" Buys 5 favorites, posts unboxing on SNS
🐿️ "Even 70% off is more expensive than $0..." Empties entire cart
🛍️ "This is trending on Instagram! Me too!" Buys 5 influencer-recommended items
😟 "I want to buy but... next month's bills..." Agonizes for 10 minutes, ends up buying nothing
