If you have ADHD, which money tip are YOU going to try out?

[libralonglegsart]

I've been slowly transitioning to putting all my autopay bills on a credit builder card and having a separate "food and fun" debit card! I wish I found that system in my early 20s (would have saved me a lot of debt!) But being late diagnosed I feel like I'm just now learning how to properly handle money and better now than never. Thanks for this video!

[MollDoll]

I would love it if you could talk about shame around money and overspending... i realize thats half my battle is acknowledging
I feel shame about letting my overspending control my finances and just addressing that seems to help me allow to dig deeper into actually problem solving my budget. Without acknowledging the shame I feel, I typically just ignore my money problems!!

You may already have a video but I just found your channel so I'm going to go look :)

My ocd made a beautiful spreadsheet for budgeting and I document every dollar I spend in an app, then check them with my online accounts and keep it in my spreadsheet.

Unfortunately my adhd doesn’t care one bit about what those abstract numbers are for and just does whatever it wants for dopamine. I haven’t found a method that truly fixes all my problems yet.

I have dyscalculia/adhd. One of the big signs of dyscalculia is getting lost or having no sense of direction. I woukd joke about getting lost going around the block. It ialso translates into getting lost in life directions. Not having a spending plan blue print map, not knowing what account balances are, or a lack of clarity on incoming/out going. I am lost that way and just cant find rhe map or direction out of the mess.

I was diagnosed as a child and couldnt accept it. Forgot about it for years until remembering and getting rediagnosed at 23.

Only now realizing how much it has affected my life. Thank you so much for making this content to help people like me. ❤

[oslikktorybezivkufriku]

this is actually useful, thank you. i always forget to pay my bills, so i have my mom reminding me in person, i have some of them set to autopay and some need my attention every month. i also struggle with saving money and impulsive shopping - but i've finally made it to having a good financial reserve by sending my money to a saving account where i pay fees everytime i want to withdraw money - i know it's not favorable so i don't touch it unless i really need the money. also i've learned that paying with cash helps me ''see'' the money flow away and have better control of my spendings than paying by card.

[MollDoll]

Finally some new tips I have not heard before. I love the impulsivity fund or simply using cash. I will need to try this!

[heidililienthal]

I love your show/podcast soooo much! This episode is particularly helpful for a lot of folks! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[mztwixed]

So nice to feel understood. Thank you.

[juliecroteau]

Thank you soooo very much ❤
Extremely helpful 🙏

[MxBurke]

So great! Thank you Lindsay! I have a question for you or anyone else out there: because of ADHD, I have taken on too many jobs in the past and then I do too many things, overwhelm myself, quit, and have no money....again. Any tips on breaking the cycle?? Thanks!

[hannahjoharchi]

This was amazing!!! Thank you so much!

[survivalhax]

Im 28 and to this day the words " you have so much potential " still haunt me 😂

[dannyking]

Is this online because I struggle to spend money in person but online I'm not

[Oldguynotbald]

Interesting thing that happened to me. I had a problem with impulsive buying, and for years I had been taking Adderall. After some research, I kept hearing about the link between Adderall and impulse buying/behavior. My Dr. switched me to Atomoxetine, and I seem to have more control now and stop and think "do I really need that" Not saying this will work for everyone, just worked for me.
