About
​Jodie L. Stauffer, CFP

Managing finances can be a challenge for people with ADHD. The symptoms of procrastination, disorganization, and impulsivity can create problems with finances.  What makes this worse is additional stress about this just makes these symptoms worse.  I know this first hand and lived in this cycle for many years prior to my diagnosis, which is now over 15 years ago.  I also know, that we don't have to live in the cycle and you have the power to change.  

Once we start working together, you may find you are able to master a financial plan.  Think how nice it would feel to be organized: You don’t have to fear your bank account getting unexpectedly low, or that you’ll be turned down for a loan, or that your power will be cut because you forgot to pay the bill.

  For adults with ADHD, issues with the following things may make keeping up with financial matters more difficult:
Keeping track of bank balances or expenses
Organizing checks, bills, and important tax papers,
Avoiding  or paying late payments
Spending and large credit card balances
Avoiding or procrastinating on paying bills
