Retirement feels like an impossible goal to achieve but also a concept from another planet. You're supposed to care deeply about a version of yourself that lives thirty or forty years in the future and put some of your today money away for this person who doesn't feel real? When you can't always remember what you had for breakfast, planning for a theoretical future feels absurd. So you don't. You tell yourself you'll start next year or when you make more money. But Future You is coming whether you prepare or not. In this post, I'm breaking down why retirement planning feels impossible with ADHD, how to make Future You feel real, starting with tiny amounts that feel easy, automating everything, understanding your retirement account options in Canada and the US, and why this is an act of self-respect not deprivation.
