ADHD Impulse Spending: "Oops, I Bought a Kayak!"

Ever opened a package and thought, “Wait… when did I order this?” If so, you’re in the right place.

In this episode of A Solo Person’s Guide to ADHD, I’m talking all things impulse spending:

• Why ADHD brains are wired for “add to cart”
• How solo living makes it easier (no one there to say, “Another planner? Really?”)
• The most common ADHD impulse buys—Amazon rabbit holes, subscription creep, and emotional spending
• Simple hacks to pause before your wallet taps out

You’ll also hear some personal stories (like my three-microphone saga), plus strategies to get that dopamine hit without draining your bank account.

💡 Quick stats you’ll learn today:

• 58% of adults with ADHD say impulse spending makes money harder
• The average ADHD brain loses about $2,000 a year to impulse buys
• Compulsive buying hits up to 21% of ADHD adults (vs. 6% in the general population)

👉 Next up: Episode 11 on tackling debt (because sometimes our impulse buys live on our credit cards long after delivery day).

✨ Share your funniest impulse buy with me—I’d love to hear it!
