Description

Adults with attention deficit disorder (ADD) often have difficulties managing their money due to their easily distracted nature and tendency to be disorganized. They may have trouble remembering to pay bills on time, may spend money impulsively, and are prone to financially challenging situations like being unemployed or underemployed, losing jobs, and having relationship difficulties. Even relatively stable people with ADD may have trouble investing wisely, using bank services efficiently, and planning for long-term events such as retirement. "ADD and Your Money" offers a simple, yet comprehensive look at ways adults with ADD can better manage their finances. The authors offer simple tips for tracking bills and sticking to a budget and valuable advice regarding investing money, paying off debt, dealing with common money issues, and making the most of bank services. The book also helps readers find an ADD-friendly bank and plan ahead to minimize the impact of ADD-influenced splurges.

Reviews

"The guidelines and inventories in this self-help manual can enable people with ADD to make the most of their treatment. While medicine improves core symptom problems, these financial management skills can further reduce ADD consequences and impairments." --Richard L. Rubin, MD, director of Vermont Clinical Study Center and adjunct associate professor at Dartmouth Medical College
