Adult ADD and Money

Problem Solved?

One of the biggest challenges that I deal with when managing money is that I often look for the easy solutions to my problem. Like most of us I hate having to deal with problems. They could be problems like:

 What am I going to have for my next meal?  

 How will I ever get debt free?

 How will I lose weight?

Solving a problem quickly makes me feel like I accomplished something. These feelings are fleeting and pretty soon I am focused on the next problem. The problem with looking for easy solutions is that most problems are more complex. 

There are many people and companies that are willing to give you easy solutions to your problems. There are many fast food restaurants that will give you an easy solution of what to eat for your next meal, and there are many books and programs designed to help you get out of debt or to help you lose weight. If you look for an easy solution you will find it. But if the easy solution is not beneficial to you long term, than easy solutions are pointless.

Writer's Block

Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of Adult ADD and Money. Lately I have found myself suffering from writer's block. I am hoping that you can help me. More specifically I would like to hear from you if:

• You have a question about ADHD and Managing Money.
• You have a question about ADHD and Managing your career.
• You have found a system or strategy that has worked for you.
• You have a specific area where you are struggling.
• You disagree with anything in this blog.
