E88 | ADHD and money - why it's a tough combination (and not your fault)

Money is hard for everyone, but add ADHD and autism into the mix and it can feel like being thrown around a washing machine.


In this episode, Ellie and Paige chat about our volatile relationships with money: the freelance feast-or-famine cycle, impulse spending, hoarding out of fear, and the shame that follows.


We talk about:


  • Why so many people are struggling more than social media shows, and the “broke to look rich” effect
  • How ADHD affects money: impulse control, executive function, time blindness and bill paralysis
  • Why we hate direct debits, how budgets and spreadsheets don't often help us, and the shame spiral that follows
  • Childhood spending habits (the impulsive spender vs. the fearful hoarder)
  • Why financial literacy was never taught, and how Simran Kaur’s Friends That Invest made investing feel less intimidating
  • How medication changed our relationship with impulse buying
  • Practical ideas: a 24-hour cart rule, keeping your own money in a shared relationship, and valuing time and autonomy over a big bank balance


There are no quick fixes here, just a reminder that you’re not alone and not bad with money because you’re a bad person. Next wee we chat about the "ADHD tax"!
