Any ADHD friendly resources for learning to invest and build better financial habits? I contribute to my 401K and buy stocks here and there but don’t save consistently and really don’t know where to start.

Automatic withdrawals have your HR take x amount and have it dumped in your 401. My firm has a dedicated financial advisor that comes in quarterly if we want a review things or make changes.

If that's not at option on your end, check with who ever does your taxes (please don't say H&R Block ... horror stories), typically they also do other financial stuff outside of tax season.

I do this already. I contribute 8% and my firm matches 4%. Tax professional is a great idea I’ll reach out to someone on that end. Thanks!

The impulse spending is really the biggest problem. I manage my debt well and always end up paying it off just to end up in the same spot in a few years. It’s a horrible cycle

This makes me feel less terrible thank you

1. Pay yourself first. Automation saves us! 401k is already automated through work, max it out to meet the contribution limit. Set up recurring transfers into your savings account, and also recurring transfer into your brokerage. Also an automatic investment (index fund or ETF) from your brokerage every month/week. (Dollar cost averaging)

2. Use an app to track your networth! This has two purposes. One - the dopamine hit from seeing it increase! Two - you can track all savings/brokerage/retirement accounts, credit cards, debts, all in one place. That way, you'll never miss anything like fraudulent charges or new bank fees.

3. If you're addicted to social media, follow accounts like personalfinanceclub or savemycents. Being hit with good financial management content constantly helps you internalize good money habits!

4. Remind yourself that more stuff = more stuff to put away! This has really helped curb impulse purchases because (like all ADHDers) I dread putting stuff into its designated spot!

Wow # 4 is a great mindset. I hate putting away things. They pile up and I get overwhelmed

You also need to have a financial analyst and a professional who can help you excuse as well as bring your attention to great investment opportunities.
Should you need one , see my firm for more information..

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks.

Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?

Found you tube channel ADDitutde magazine. Several really good presentations with recent developments Thought I’d share.
