When Bre Cain was in their 20s, their finances were hard to manage.
There was a lot of impulse buying, including ordering food and clothes that they couldn't afford, to seek comfort.
Cain also said they were signing up for subscriptions they already had but had forgotten about.
But after being diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder three years ago, Cain, now 30, started to understand the reasoning behind those financial actions and began to put in some financial "bumpers."
Traversing finances with ADHD can require some adjustments, including getting over the potential shame of not having control over your spending, or ignoring the need to make a better financial plan, often called the "ostrich effect," said Cain, who shares about their ADHD financial journey on social media at Money for Misfits.
