Back-to-school season is expensive for every family — but when you have an ADHD brain, it hits differently. Time blindness makes September feel unreal in June. Executive dysfunction turns a simple list into a spiral. And the moment August arrives, the dopamine hits and suddenly you've spent twice what you planned.
In this episode, Esther breaks down exactly why back-to-school spending is so hard for ADHD parents and neurodivergent adults — and what to actually do about it.
You'll learn:
- Why the standard budgeting advice (compare prices, make a list, use cashback apps) often backfires for ADHD brains
- The 5 ADHD patterns behind back-to-school overspending — including time blindness, dopamine-driven urgency, and all-or-nothing thinking
- What NOT to do: why visiting multiple stores and making exhaustive lists makes things worse
- 4 practical strategies that work with your ADHD brain — not against it
This week's gentle action: Open your phone, create a note called "Back to School Fund," write down one number, and move even £20/$20 into a separate savings pot. That's it. You've already started.
