Future joy for shopaholics who are trying to break out of the vicious cycle:
Smart ATM machines.
Abilities
- Mind reading function.
Ability to read your mind when you are withrawing money. $20 for food? Dispense. $20 for transport? Dispense. $120 for clothes? STOP SHOPPING sign flashes across repeatedly, armed with siren until you press the cancel button.
- Self-saving scheme
Ability to set aside certain proportions of your assets for different expenditure. If you over withdraw, the ATM is able to tell you, "that's what you are supposed to save." If you still insist on withdrawing the amount, a red plastic hand sticks out and smacks your hand, just above the enter button. If that still doesn't work, machine is able to use reverse psychology on you.
Ah future joy. Unfortunately at the moment the closest I have to this is my mum, and even she can't control me.
