    It happens more often than you’d think. A friend of mine had a ~$25 medical bill go to collections. They just kept setting the mail out, filing it away each week, and forgetting about it. I ended up paying it and convinced them to get tested for ADHD. Sure enough…

      Yeah, adhd is the only reason I have any debt at all.

      I kinda want to start a company that will manage money for people like me who struggle with keeping up with such things.
