Why online banking is good for ADD adults

Here is a list of reasons why adults with ADD should be doing all of their banking on-line:

1. No need to balance your checkbook.

If you combine making on-line payments with making purchases via a debit card, you will not have to write a check ever again. Since on-line payments and debit cards purchases are taken directly out of you account, you can always find out your true balance just by going on-line. Most adults with ADD have difficulty with tedious tasks, this is one task you can avoid simply by switching to on-line banking.

2. Ability to automatically pay bills.

Adults with ADD have a poor perception of time and when bills are due.  By setting up to pay your bills automatically you do not have to worry about forgetting to pay your bills. With on-line banking you can set up to automatically pay recurring bills on the same day each month. You can also allows utilities and other companies to automatically deduct your monthly bill from your bank account. If you are living paycheck to paycheck with no wiggle room in your check book it is not a good idea to let companies automatically deduct money from your account, if there is no money in your account you will be charged a fee similar to the one you would get for bouncing a check.

3.  Reduces clutter

Adults with ADD have a hard time with organization. By switching to banking on-line you no longer need to get a statement each month. It is one less ting you have to worry about filing or losing.

4. Reduces the time you need to complete your financial tasks.

Adults with ADD have difficulty completing multi-step tasks. By paying your bills on-line you no longer have to write out a check, address an envelope, put a stamp on an envelope, and mail the envelope. While all of these steps are simple it is easy to get distracted or forget one of these steps causing you bills to be paid late.
