ADDA is fortunate to have Richard “Rick” Webster leading this series.  As an adult with ADHD Rick has a deep personal knowledge of what is like to live with ADHD impacted finances because he has been there. As a finance educator Rick has a personal commitment to helping adults with ADHD learn efficient and effective finance management. Rick will share practical tips and strategies for managing common ADHD-related finance challenges.

For people with ADHD, managing finances is challenging. Just thinking about your money can cause shame and upset. Executive functions like planning, impulse control, and emotional regulation underlie effective money management.

Adults with ADHD can procrastinate or forget to pay bills, incurring late fees and other penalties. We call it the ADHD tax.

This is a safe space to discuss problems ADHDers face when it comes to money matters.

Have you heard that living a lean life of deprivation will make your later years sweet? Just wrong! Have you heard that imagining something enough will almost magically make it appear in your life? What is YOUR money story? Let’s talk about our blind spots and get our financial house in order … using tools that actually work.
