Today we are going to talk about 9 key investing principles and concepts that every beginner (or pro) investor should understand.

I have been fielding more and more questions from clients about how to get started investing, and so I thought it was a great time to roll out a few episodes on the topic.

It is important to me that fellow ADHDers that don't have investing experience understand some key concepts and principles before they embark on an investing journey so that they are prepared for success.

This week I am switching it up and pulling out an interview  I recorded many months ago for my old podcast, Invest Smarter.

This was going to be my last episode for that podcast, but I instead decided I would hold onto it for a time to release on ADHD Money Talk because it is so relevant!

My guest, Christine Luken, is the financial Lifeguard. She empowers high-earning individuals to master their money!

We talk about budgeting, the money monster, paying with cash, guilt, shame, and so much more. Check out her website at: https://www.christineluken.com

You know that thing that happens where you need to do a big important thing, but then you do a million little not important things instead? Well, there is a word for that. Procrastivity. In today's show, I talk about what it is, examples of how it affects us, and how we can cut it out!

Next, I talk about getting free money. We ADHDers already pay a thing called the ADHD tax. That is late fees, things we don't need, and the food we don't eat. Well, to help offset the tax, we might as well take the free money that is offered to us. And what I am talking about is making sure you get your full match through your 401(k) at work.

Finally, I'll answer a listener question about how to study for an exam while you are also working! Lucy wants tips on how to actually sit down and study.

In this episode, we continue the budget conversation. Specifically, we are talking about budget killers.

The main thrust of today's show is to tell you about the 50/30/20 budgeting rule. It is a rule that can help you diagnose where your most significant budgeting issues lie. That leads me to a conversation about one of the most critical issues ADHDers have with sticking to budgets: hyperfixations. Hyperfixations can be very expensive. I talk about how two of my hyperfixations cost me a lot of money. They aren't inherently a bad thing. The problem is when it causes you to spend money you do not have!

I start the show off with a discussion on taxes with simple tips to prepare. I end the show with two listener questions. One is on what to do with a tax refund, and the other is on cryptocurrency!

Today on the show, we are talking about making more money! Now, this is not just to have more money. It is really because you've realized how important financial security and peace of mind are to you, and you have decided that one of the ways you can improve your life and the life of your family is by having more income. So we get into various ways to potentially make some more money on the side without much investment!

I also talk about ADHD and creativity. Specifically, a study from 2018 suggests ADHDers are more creative than our neurotypical peers. I also talk about ADHD and drama. I read an article that really hit home for me about why we can self-sabotage by inviting drama into our lives unwittingly.
