"The best solution for me, to lessen the emotional impact, is to let my husband take full responsibility for our finances. I really just disconnect myself from the problem and let him deal with it. He deposits money in my checking account each week for groceries, medicine, and other expenses. I check the balance every morning with Quicken and use my debit card for almost all transactions. I don't carry a credit card. This system lowers my stress level considerably. "
This solutions works for a lot of adults with ADD who have someone that they trust to take responsibility for the finances. When using this system it is a good idea to make sure that you agree with your partner to discuss any major financial decisions. It is also a good idea to occasionally review all checking, savings, investments, and credit card bills so that you understand and agree with the decisions your partner makes. It is important that you have input to how your money is being spent as well as knowing why your partner sets spending limits.
