I apologize for the probably absurd inquiry, but I also deal with ADHD and was never taught how to manage money or budget. My question is this, Where do people store their actual, physical money when they declare they have money set aside for something or include cash for something in their budget? A budget is just a collection of words and numbers in my opinion. In practice, how can one ensure that funds are conserved rather than spent?
To stick to a budget, track every expense using a spreadsheet or an app that links to your bank account. This helps you see where your money goes and avoid spending on things not in the budget. It takes effort, but tracking makes it easier.
