ADHD

If you've ever felt like money just slips through your fingers—not because you don't care, but because your brain works differently—this one's for you. This template meets you where you are, with categories built around the way ADHD brains actually live and spend. There's a spot for your morning coffee, your latest hyperfixation, and yes, the forgotten lunch you had to replace with a take out order. These categories are permission to plan for real life without the shame. Because getting good at money isn't about being perfect. It's about having a plan that actually fits your brain.

Notes

This template was built with input from the YNAB community, including insights from YNABers with ADHD who shared what actually works for them. It's meant to be a starting point, and you can adjust categories and amounts to fit your life.
