ADHD Money Talk

Investing in the ADHD-Friendly Way

The term ADHD-friendly means intuitive and low stress, so new investors will want to select the right investment company. 

After researching companies providing various automated investing services, I found one that struck me as very ADHD-friendly, covering all the bases. The service is intuitive for both novice investors and seasoned participants looking for a simplified, automated service to manage their money.

In this episode I walk you through the process of setting goals, opening an account, how to select investments, tweak the portfolio options, and ways to fund the account.

This will conclude our three-week series on investing. I hope it has helped you start thinking about investing responsibly.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Successful long-term investing is not so much about the tax treatment of your account or which investments you select. Those things are important, but they pale in comparison to the most critical variable of investing. That's what we will talk about today.

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.

It's time for a new car. Should you lease or should you buy? In this episode, I'll talk about the differences between the two options and confess my preference. I believe one option is more ADHD-friendly than the other.

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.
