It should come as no surprise that due to impulsivity, poor organizational skills and lack of motivation, many of those with ADHD have huge problems with budgeting money, large credit bills, saving money. In honor of April 15, tax time, I am revisiting this subject.<br />
<div id="ctrl-9566550">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Some tips for improving your finances are:</span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">using your bank's automatic payment service to pay your bills ( this way there are no overdue bills with late fees)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">if you can afford it find a financial planner to help you with budgeting and saving</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">make a weekly appointment with yourself to balance your checkbook</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">minimize the number of credit cards you own</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">when you go shopping don't carry those credit cards this way you only buy what you have money for</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">make a budget and stick with it</span></li>
</ul>
<div id="ctrl-9566558">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Yes, some of these tips may be difficult for you so invite a friend to keep you accountable. If you are not comfortable with this hire an ADHD coach.</span></div>
