ADHD and Money

For most of my life, managing money felt like some crazy puzzle I could never solve.

Bills went unpaid, even when I had the money.

Budgets? They never stuck.

And don’t even get me started on the guilt that came with impulse spending.

No matter how hard I tried, it always felt like I was falling short.

For a long time, I thought it was a personal failure—that I just wasn’t disciplined enough or that something was wrong with me.

Turns out, there was something different about me—but it wasn’t what I thought. I’m neurodivergent. Specifically, I have ADHD, and once I understood what that meant, my entire approach to managing money changed.

Why ADHD Makes Money Management So Hard

If you have ADHD, you know the struggles.

Forgetting to pay bills, even though you have the money sitting in your account. Feeling like every budgeting app or system is more work than it’s worth. Wrestling with impulse spending—and then beating yourself up for it afterward. It’s exhausting, right?

The thing is, ADHD affects how we plan, organize, and regulate emotions. That’s why traditional money advice usually doesn’t work for us. It’s not because we’re lazy or careless; it’s because our brains are wired differently.

My Turning Point

It took me years to realize this, but once I did, everything started to shift.

I stopped trying to force myself into systems that weren’t built for me and started building tools and strategies that worked with my brain, not against it.

Here are a few things that made a huge difference for me:

• Identifying my triggers for impulse spending. Instead of fighting my urges, I learned to redirect them.

• Simplifying my budget. I stopped aiming for perfection and focused on what was realistic and manageable.

• Setting up systems that require less mental energy. Automatic payments, visual reminders, and gamified goals became lifesavers.

• Most importantly, I learned to forgive myself when I messed up. Because let’s be real: nobody’s perfect, and beating myself up wasn’t helping.

These shifts didn’t just help me regain control of my finances—they helped me start saving, investing, and even dreaming bigger for my future.
