@merideth_adhdeducation: 🧠 KEY TAKEAWAYS • Budgeting can feel overwhelming for ADHD brains because it requires sustained attention, planning, and delayed rewards • Checking your bank account is not the same as budgeting • Budgeting is a forward-looking plan, not just tracking what already happened • Breaking the process into small, structured steps makes it more manageable • The goal isn’t perfection—it’s awareness, structure, and support for your brain 📚 Suggested Studies for Further Reading 📚 📖 ADHD and Financial Decision-Making: Impulsivity and Delay Discounting — Panos Roussos et al., 2018 (Explores how impulsivity and preference for immediate rewards affect financial behavior in ADHD) 📖 Executive Functioning and ADHD — Russell A. Barkley, 2012 (Explains how planning, organization, and self-regulation challenges impact tasks like budgeting) 📖 Delay Aversion in ADHD — Edmund Sonuga-Barke, 2003 (Describes why tasks with delayed rewards—like budgeting—are harder to engage with) 📖 Hot and Cool Executive Function in ADHD — Adele Diamond, 2013 (Explains differences in emotional vs. cognitive control and how they affect decision-making) My name is Merideth.
