That's why I love virtual card systems like MB NET. You just generate a random virtual card for every purchase (or a recurring one for each subscription vendor, for example) and move on. Your bank still knows what you're doing, of course, but vendors can't correlate anything. Preventing your bank from knowing where you're spending your money is much harder, for very practical reasons: fraud detection. The only real way is to use a secure crypto coin like Monero, but very few places accept it and you still have to deal with volatility.

I think crypto has a lot of potential in this space. You can effectively have a wallet with cash that requires 2 factor auth to make the transaction that is anonymous in both directions.
