I waste so much money by buying some food, forgetting about it and buying the same/similar food a few days later, and then having to throw the old food away as it's gone off

I love how simple and straigt to the point your videos are. Very ADHD friendly.

One of the reasons I hate the thing some online sites have where there is a half hour countdown saying that if you buy now you get it for this price and then it will permanently be more expensive, it prays on people who impulse buys and I find it horrible.

I was diagnosed as ADD when I was a child. I’m now 34 and am struggling even more now as an adult. I was diagnosed with ADHD, Inattentive Type and Social Anxiety. (I also have depression and ptsd from my line of work). I honestly don’t know how I have survived so long. I spend too much money (my obsession is coffee cups, books and video games.). I do remember to pay bills, but that’s out of fear that I remember. ( I check my billing statements obsessively everyday). I’m exhausted. I really am so...so...exhausted. Last edit, I swear. I’m SO glad I stumbled on your channel. This self proclaimed “old lady” doesn’t feel so crazy, anymore.

Unfortunately during this pandemic I've memorized my card number lol

I'm so afraid of missing payments that impulsively pay them as early as possible. So early in fact that i panic every month cause i forgot i paid them like three week ago.

Thank you so much for doing this video! I'm a really impulsive spender. It's one thing medication hasn't helped with because I'm an emotional spender and I just downplay all the consequences and think "oh itll be okay" by the middle of the month I'm terrified of looking at my balance 🙈

Remember to save up for those big expenses you know are coming too. If it's cheaper to pay an annual fee instead of monthly, pay the annual fee, then set aside 1/12 of it monthly so you're ready when the time comes to pay again.

The only problem I have with the automated payments is I'm afraid maybe the money won't be there when I need it to be there. Like maybe I'll forget to put the money in the bank or whatever

Great ideas! I recommend doing a budget to determine exactly how much needs to pay for living, then set up a payment to transfer what's left over to a 2nd account with its own debit/credit card for personal spending. I recently made a 3rd account, no card, customised the online banking picture as visual reminder of my saving goal, Motorbike. Some weeks I don't spend much money so I transfer it to my bike-account!

One thing that has helped me in staying on top of bills has been making a dedicated draft account. Every check I take home a dedicated amount goes into my draft account, some goes into my savings, and then I have another personal use account for more flexible spending. I also set notifications for anything that pulls from any of my accounts along with my total balance. This allows me to ensure that my bills are always paid first and makes it easier for me to make my grocery budget. I also always maintain an emergency savings amount. $1000 is usually enough for me if something comes up that I didn't plan for. If my emergency budget is used my goal is immediately to focus on replenishing it. This works for me because it allows me to focus on simpler goals rather than trying to juggle bills on top of budgeting and saving.

Holy f$@k found this and now I’m enlightened

I´m trying to get rich as a ADHD person, BUT my productivity Level is slow compared to normal people. I know HOW to get rich, BUT it doesn´t matter. Only consistency, focus and discipline are the "key tools"

I am definitely a pen-to-paper person. I cant use money apps or budget on my phone or online. That doesnt make it real for me. I have to have it in front of me to hold and carry in my wallet or I mess up. It also helps to have it staring at me so I have a reminder of the bills coming up so I dont spend on impulse. It isnt perfect but it definitely helps.

Professional psychologists have done research to verify it is more obvious that you are spending a large amount of money if you use paper money. Handing over a thick stack of paper currency makes it more obvious to your brain that you are spending a large amount than just running a plastic credit card through a reader. Some people have said that it does not feel like they are really spending money if all they do is swipe a card.

I know it's the impulsive spending. Then me thinking it will be fine and then boom account in the negative.

Very smart and valuable tips! I'm fairly new to this whole ADD/ADHD-world so I'm sure I'll get a good use of you channel ☺️

Great Tipps especially to use cash (I never do) - but I could do this after Covid period. Thank you 😘

subscription service for groceries is useful. Like Butcher Box or Imperfect Foods. I think if something deliveries automatically without you grabbing your credit card or to distract you your are likely to stick to a list.

The card thing is so so true. I spent so much money Nd I went to buy smth else Nd my card declined Nd I was so confused I felt like I wasted maybe 40$ but I spent 100$

Have multiple bank accounts where you divvy up your wages into specific accounts with a set purpose so you don’t spend money you don’t have. I have about 6 different accounts. One for Rent and Utilities, one for Car, one for Internet and Phone, one for Medical, One for Savings and one for my NDIS allowance. I only have a debit card never a credit card so it’s my money being spent only.

Thank you for everything

Thank you very much for your advices. You understand how we feel and our life challenges. Happy to be in this crew. Greetings from Uppsala Sweden

thank you so much for this video!

Another EXCEPTIONAL VIDEO . Merci

Thank you so much!!

just spent 1.3k this week on booze and random stuff cant even remember why

Beautiful made tips , definitely 3 things i start doing and you munched them : working with cash , no more credit cards if I need something I see if the store lay way it or I put money on it to be saved and I saved for the rest in an envelope at home, the food is the biggest bill for me and I'm sure for lot of people, you definitely should eat before food shopping ,for me I have a list for the monthly things then I'll buy 10 days food of balanced meals, eating healthy and less meat is better and cheaper this days , I have only 2 other bills which I pay by 10 days earlier that also make your life easier. In general know how to budget your meals and cook earlier before you get hungry and you'll get food delivered that's not good neither for your health nor you savings.

Thank you 😊 very much 💡🧠

Always speaking the truth! Such a relevant video dude

Just want to say Big Thanx for ypur videos . Friend of mine might have Adhd and watching your videos helped me to understand his behaviour . Once again Thank you very much .

This helps thanks

If you have a moderate amount of cash/disposable income. I like to buy small legitimate gold and silver coins/mini bars. It satisfies the checkout experience i enjoy and getting something in the post. It is also a solid investment and isn't like a total waste of cash like junk food

Thank you so much this was very helpful and well presented.

Thank you

My ADHD is causing me Debt problems

I just got a prepaid credit cardXD it realy helps:) but i also only use it for certain things that realy need a credit card. Like my audible subscription.

happy hollaween !!

brains bounce eh??? prove it

Why is there ADHD Mastery shirts popping up everywhere for me to buy 😂

I tell myself every time I buy something, I won't do it again, and shouldn't buy any more... but then I do, and then I feel anxious about buying something I didn't need and spent money I don't have... honestly started to think I was a hoarder... but now I think it's something I'm trying to suppress but it's not working... I think my abusive relationship I'm trying to fill the void for but I'm not sure...

U are really beautiful man🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good. But distracted by his handsomeness...

Is it wrong that when I read that thumbnail, I laughed?

Hey mate how old were you when you got your diagnosis?

I always put most of my money in savings and it totally works! Until I find a weird niche hobby that I feel I just absolutely need to buy new gear for and then I drain those “savings” 😝

Too many things tooo true in this video……..
