DESCRIPTION:
Today we are talking about budgeting and managing your money while you have ADHD!

1. Automating your finances
One of the best ways to make sure sure you stick to a budget is to make it as simple and automated as possible. Digit is partnering with MetaBank on a new app called Direct.

Direct AUTOMATICALLY categorizes your money in 3 places:
SAVING
SPENDING
BILLS

2. Listen to your budget, not your bank account
Seeing a big number in your bank account on payday can make it feel like you have tons of money. Since people with ADHD often struggle with object permanence, we can forget that money needs to cover upcoming bills, utilities, rent etc. Instead, you want to look at your budget to see how much you have to spend. Your budget will remind you of all the expenses that paycheck needs to cover so you can be more realistic with your extra spending money.

3. Navigating impulse spending
Spending is often tied to emotions, so it's important to give yourself a chance to step back and think about whether you really want to spend money on that item. I give myself a 24 hour on any non-essential Amazon purchases. They have to wait in my cart for 24 hours before I can buy them. Typically, I forget about them and realize I didn't actually want to buy that thing.

4. ADHD, Dopamine, and Finances
People with ADHD often look for hits of dopamine because we often have less dopamine in our system. We tend to get bored or uninterested in monotonous activities. So it's important to focus on short term goals and give yourself little, frequent financial wins! you want to balance out your short, medium and long term financial goals.

5. Visuals, Visuals, Visuals
Take advantage of visual saving and debt payoff trackers to help you to stay motivated and reach your financial goals.
