Vent: My flight alert app just hit 100 saved searches and I'm shocked it's that many

I started using it for a trip to Lisbon last fall, and now I have alerts for like a dozen different cities and dates. Has anyone else found they save way more potential trips than they actually book?

What if you made a rule to delete alerts after a month?

Way more potential trips than they actually book" sounds like harmless daydreaming to me.

Honestly, how many of those alerts are for trips you'd actually take this year? I had to do a big purge last month. I kept my alerts for a real trip to Denver in July, but deleted old ones for Tokyo and Sydney that were just fantasy. Setting a time limit like @phoenix_carter mentioned is smart. It forces you to be real about what you can afford and get time off for. Now my app is just for trips I'm serious about planning.
