I get it, the ups, the downs, leave you on cloud 9 some months and feeling like you are drowning others. It can add a lot of stress when trying to manage your money! But fear not, it is possible to budget with a variable income, whether is is variable month to month, or season to season.
Imagine this: You're leisurely sipping your latte, crunching those budget numbers (probably in your favourite spreadsheet—seriously, do you have one yet?), and feeling darn good about your financial choices. That, my friend, is the sweet spot of contentment. It's sustainable, achievable, and doesn't rely on external factors. And let me tell you, it's the secret sauce for making monumental shifts in your financial journey.
What I often see as a financial coach focused on helping my fellow ADHDers is that we try to implement plans that work for the neurotypicals and get angry with ourselves when we fail. The problem when that happens isn’t YOU it is that the plan or process you were trying wasn’t suited to you. ♥️
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. ♥️
It’s that time of year for many, where we set goals for what we’d like to achieve in the the next 12 months. So I’ve got some tips suited to helping ADHDers set and work toward financial goals. 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. 🤑
In a nutshell, setting financial boundaries during the holidays is about being intentional. Know your limits, prioritize what matters, and don't let the holiday hype take over your wallet. Whether you're dealing with ADHD tendencies or just navigating the festive season, a little planning goes a long way.
