Founder, Deliverless

Brian Furey is the founder of Deliverless, a food delivery spending tracker built on a simple idea: awareness changes behavior, lectures don't. After realizing he was spending $250 a week on delivery and enough time watching personal finance content to realize the problem was everywhere, he built the app he wished had existed. He writes about food delivery spending habits, the psychology behind them, and what the data actually shows.
