ADHD and Bank Accounts: The Setup That Actually Works (Ep 119)
Listen/watch:
In this episode, you are getting it straight from a financial coach and a financial planner who have built real systems and are willing to show them.
What we talk about:
what we each do on the business and personal side with our account set ups
what institutions we use for our business and personal finances
what we recommend to our clients
what we do that doesn’t make sense or work for most ADHD brains because we are money nerds
Their recommendation starts in one place: a separate spending account. Money goes there on payday. That account covers groceries, gas, going out, and anything else that is not a bill. When you want to know if you can afford something, you check that balance. One step. One answer. No mental math, no reconstructing where the rest of the money went.
This one change is the most consistent source of immediate relief for clients who try it, and the episode explains exactly how to make it work.
Is this episode for you?
If you have ADHD and your money keeps disappearing before the next payday, yes. If you are self-employed and fuzzy on what your income tax situation actually looks like, also yes. If you and a partner are figuring out a money structure that works for both of you without creating friction, this episode gets into that too.
