Summary

In this episode of the ADHD with Jenna Free podcast, I discuss the complex relationship between ADHD and money management from a dysregulation lens. I explore how ADHD (particularly dysregulated ADHD) can lead to impulsive spending, avoidance of financial responsibilities, and the impact of survival mode on long-term financial planning. We are talking about why money can be hard and what we can do to make it better.

Takeaways

  • ADHD can complicate money management due to impulsivity.
  • Survival mode affects our ability to think long-term about finances.
  • Shopping can provide temporary relief from dysregulation.
  • Rushing leads to poor financial decisions and increased spending.
  • Avoidance of financial responsibilities can create a cycle of shame.
  • Slowing down can lead to more thoughtful spending decisions.
  • Urgent purchases often indicate dysregulation.
  • Balancing short-term enjoyment with long-term goals is crucial.
  • Mindfulness and regulation are key to improving financial health.
