Deal a Dollar

My friends do I have a money management system for you, it called deal a dollar. The system is so easy, when you get paid, you first write checks to cover all of you bills, then you leave a little money into your savings account, after you have done that you can withdraw the rest of your funds in dollars. These dollars come in denominations from one dollar all the way up to one hundred dollars.

Remember the system is easy, whenever you want to buy something you just deal your dollars to the cashier. When you run out of dollars you are through with spending till the next payday. This is not a spending diet it is a spending system that you can use for the rest of your life. Buy my one page book on the deal a dollar system for only $19.95. NO C.O.D's

One challenge that many ADD adults is that they tend to hyper focus on the system rather than the execution of the system. While it is true that you will not have success with a poor money management system, it is relatively easy to set up a good system (not a perfect system) where you will be successful. If you are having problems with sticking to a budget there are often underlying emotional issues or habits that you have to deal with before you can stick to a good plan.

Broke and clean Britney

   Here is an interesting excerpt that I found on the Boston Herald website.

According to London’s The Daily Star, the pop princess is reportedly “scared to death” to face her financial situation - she’s blown through $21 million of her $32 million fortune in the past two years. “She has to concentrate on staying sober,” says a concerned family friend, “but she can’t do that if she has to worry about going broke - which is exactly what she thinks will happen.”

Britney Spears is worrying about how to live on a net worth of $11 million dollars. I bet that most people think that the can live out there lives pretty comfortably on 11 million. The problem here is not the amount of money that she has to live on, but it is more about perception. Often we are not aware of how many of our choices are affected by how we view the world. There are many things that we view as necessities that are really choices we are making.  Sometime the choices are things that we have become accustomed to, and sometime the choices have to do with how we want to be perceived by our peers. Are there necessities in your life that are really optional.?

Most ADD adults have had  issues with self-perception and self esteem at some point in their life. Eileen Bailey at ADD/ADHD @ about.com has great tips on improving self esteem.
