3rd Year Blogoversary

I find it very scary and frightening that today is Adult ADD and Money 3rd Anniversary. It means that I have been truly blessed with great readers, guest authors, and a wonderful wife who has supported this blog. I would like to thank you all for taking time out of your day to read this blog and I hope that I have helped some of you on your journey to financial freedom.

I would like to share with you the first article I wrote in this blog.

Shopping Lists

Before you go out shopping write down everything that you want on a list. (Stick to the list) It will help to limit impulse buys. I was tired today and forgot to write down a list and I purchased cookies that I did not need to buy. Almost all stores are set up to take advantage on shoppers who are impulse buyers (One of the main traits of adults with ADD). I think setting up a list is more important when you are planning on going shopping at large department or warehouse stores, there are many times that my wife and I have gone to the store with the intent of only purchasing a few items, but left with a cart full of items that we did not need. (We seemed to always forget one of the items that we went there for in the first place)

Congrats and happy anniversary!

Re-posting your advice about shopping lists is an excellent reminder for ADDers. I can't go to Target without acquiring several new cleaning products. I don't buy them out of necessity; rather, I'm transfixed by that aisle of the store!

Happy anniversary. :)
