90 | Debt Snowball or Avalanche? The Best Debt Payoff Method for ADHD Brains (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Debt snowball or debt avalanche: which debt payoff method actually works for an ADHD brain? The avalanche saves the most interest on paper and the snowball clears your smallest debt first, so this episode shows you how to pay off debt with ADHD by choosing the method you will still be using in 6 months, and keep going until you are debt free. Debt can cause a huge financial overwhelm and just budgeting alone, does not guarantee you will get to the finish line. You picked the avalanche because it
89 | Debt Payoff Strategies for Dyscalculia: When Numbers Never Feel Real! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dyscalculia and debt. Becoming debt free when numbers never feel real, when you can read the balance but not feel it, and when nobody can tell you whether this is maths anxiety or dyscalculia. You open the banking app, look at what you owe, and feel nothing. Not panic. Nothing. Then you spend the rest of the day wondering what kind of person reacts like that.

88 | 60 Money Affirmations: ADHD, Autism & Dyslexia Edition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Money affirmations for ADHD adults, calming money anxiety, and what to do about executive dysfunction and money avoidance when a letter has been sitting unopened on the side for a fortnight.

87 | Executive Dysfunction and Autism: Why You Can Focus for Nine Hours and Still Not Open One Bill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Executive dysfunction and autism is the reason you can focus on one thing for nine hours and still leave a four minute email sitting for eleven days. There is a name for it, and it is autistic inertia. Once you understand monotropism, and why money admin is the hardest possible task for the way autistic attention works, every budgeting tip aimed at motivation starts to look like the answer to a question you were never asking. You have read the email. You know exactly what to do about it. It woul
86 | How to Stop Overspending With ADHD: What to Do the Day After (Instead of Starting Over) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How to stop overspending with ADHD is one of the hardest things to find a straight answer to, because almost everything written about ADHD and impulse spending tells you what to do before you buy, and nothing about what to do once the money has gone. If you have been looking for what to do after an ADHD spending spree, or wondering why do people with ADHD overspend when they earn enough to be fine, this episode is the missing half. You overspent yesterday. Today your chest is tight, you have not
