ADHD and Money: Simple Systems to Manage $$ with Ease
Episode 100 marks a major milestone for the Mind + Money podcast, and Sherry and Val are celebrating by sharing their top money management tips specifically designed for ADHD brains.
The hosts dive into the systems and strategies that have transformed their clients' financial lives, starting with the most impactful change anyone can make! And of course, there’s a few analogies thrown in for good measure!
Throughout the episode, they explore the balance between math and the emotional side of money, and what strategies can help it be more math (but not too much)! While it might make sense on paper to throw every extra dollar at debt, the emotional reality of ADHD means that approach often backfires. They share what you can do to make sure your money set up doesn’t backfire on you!
The conversation covers practical topics including how to manage credit cards when carrying debt, why tracking every transaction isn't sustainable for most ADHD brains, and how to plan your cash flow in a way that works with ADHD time perception (where everything is either "now" or "not now").
Both hosts emphasize that consistency matters more than perfection. Whether you show up at 10% capacity or 90%, the key is to keep showing up. They share real client success stories, including one who wondered "where is all this money coming from?" after just two months of implementing these systems.
