Is ADHD Tax draining your wallet? Does anyone even use wallets anymore? 😂

In this episode, I’m talking about the hidden costs of having an ADHD brain — what’s known as the ADHD Tax.

On the one hand, it’s things like Hello Fresh, pre-chopped veggies, or delivery fees — they cost more, but they actually save us stress and mean we’ll use them. On the flip side, it’s the stuff that just leaks money: subscriptions we never cancel, late fees, buying the same charger three times because we lost the last one.

I’ll share my own wins and fails, and a few tips on how to spot when ADHD Tax is actually a worthwhile investment in your sanity — and when it’s just chaotic spending.

🎧 Tune in for:

  • Why “convenience spending” can sometimes save us
  • The classic ADHD money leaks (hands up if you’ve still got unused subscriptions 🙋🏻‍♀️)
  • Simple tricks to stop the ADHD Tax stinging quite so much
  • Why it’s okay to budget for a little random spending

👉 I’d love to hear your stories: what’s the funniest or most frustrating ADHD Tax you’ve ever paid? Come and share with me on Instagram or Facebook!
