Kinda basic information about finance, great if you're just starting out but definitely wish it had more techniques and management ideas.

[Byzbets · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book covers most of the issues and strategies that ADHD individuals face in life. She applies what we know about having an interest-based attention and nervous system to the tasks that are related to managing income, expenses, budgeting, tracking spending, etc.
I did not read anything especially novel or insightful. And there is no guidance about dealing with money and spouses or life partners.

Such an easily recommendable resource that doesn't over complicate finance and all the scary parts of being an adult with a job and bills to pay.

[Jemma · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mostly was the basic financial literacy info with a splash of yeah I know it is hard with adhd. Fine if you were coming in with no knowledge of personal finance as it has lots of savings tips and budgeting ideas, however nothing new to me. Was a little repetitive towards the end hearing the same ideas rehashed from earlier in the book (listened via audiobook)

I think this is a great book for what it is - an intro to money for ADHD folk. It's really ADHD friendly in how it's written and set out. Maybe having it be described as an intro would be helpful to set the expectation.

Some good tips and a solid intro to ADHD for people who don't have background knowledge. Nothing groundbreaking but some good reminders that a reward-based brain needs reward-based motivators for doing something boring like tracking a budget.

Overall ⭐️2.5/5

Very neuroaffirming. An interesting read but nothing revolutionary that chatGPT couldn’t tell you in under a minute.

[Stefanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very basic on the finance side of it, but very validating for those with ADHD. Great starter guide for those who need it.
