For people with ADHD, the numbers tell an even more startling story. Studies suggest that individuals with ADHD are 12 times more likely to experience financial distress than those without it. Impulsive spending is a common ADHD trait, often triggered by boredom, stress, or even excitement. And since dopamine levels in ADHD brains are lower, shopping can feel like a quick fix—but it’s a fix that comes with a hefty price tag.
Here’s the truth: traditional resolutions fail for almost everyone, but they especially don’t work for individuals with ADHD. Our brains are wired differently, and sticking to rigid goals without flexibility or immediate rewards is a recipe for burnout. But there’s a better way to inspire change and make progress on the things that matter most. So, I hope you decide to ditch the New Year Resolutions and switch it up if you have things you’d like to work on in the coming year!
Let’s examine how we can harness the power of our motivations—novelty, challenge, passion, urgency, and interest—to conquer our financial goals like the heroes we are.
Forget generic goals; let's make them as unique as you are. What fires you up? Travel, daily lattes, or being the frugal wizard? Your goals should align with what brings you joy. Screw societal expectations; this is about YOUR happiness. Don’t let what others are trying to accomplish or what they share on IG pull you away from what is important to you. ♥️

Are you ready to dive into setting and smashing your financial goals? You have come to the right place because we're about to turn those money dreams into reality. 🤑
