I’m not too fond of calling this a ‘tax’. Tax money goes to funding actually useful things. Conservatives want you to think that giving money to the government and throwing it down the toilet are the same thing.
Good point. What I wonder what word would fit better: Fees, dues, expenses, charges, bills
Just cost? It’s what it is. The cost of having adhd
Extra charges, because that is what those are.
Copays and deductibles
I want to laugh, but it’s too close to home.
I’ll add:
Missing appointments, rescheduling and then missing that one too.
And still paying for the appointments that were missed
Yk, this is the ONE time living in the ass end of nowhere has been good for my wallet.
I’ve wanted to paint minis for a while now, and the one mini I got is a small blueberry I haven’t even painted because I’d need to buy the tools and paints, which aren’t sold here.
If I were stateside I’d be drowning in orc and salamander minis. Or more likely yet, primed but not painted, and tossed aside like half the hobbies I pick up until the moment I got the jist of what its about.

I feel personally attacked
I got 300 eur worth of ifninity minis, lost a shitty painting competition and now ive put it off since i need a paint booth.
Ive picked up airsoft now. At least airsofts cheaper.
Oof, isn’t airsoft a money sink as well?
Unironically really cheap. Mostly kids with no jobs play it so they have no concept what a money sink is.
It’s comparable in cost to a cheaper tabletop mini game.
Oh, I had thought it would’ve been expensive as hell. Guess that it comes down to how built up you have your kit, I guess.
I make it a rule to only start inexpensive hobbies.
Once they have progressed, and I’m getting good at it, they turn to expensive hobbies.
This triggers the end of the hobby cycle and a new hobby is targeted.
I just started magic the gathering as a hobby, lol
My wallet feels this.
Cheaper option: invent a time machine. Go back 30 years. Buy up all of the cardboard with the word Mox on them, and everything with a black border. Travel back to 2025. Sell cardboard and retire!
Proxies. I have several full decks that are all fake cards printed from high quality proxy printing sites, ~$30-40 per 100 card commander deck, not sure how tariffs changed the cost, haven’t ordered recently, but it was not a US based site. Obviously not legal in competitive play, but I only play casual amongst friends
Oh shit I just 100 percented this game. What do I win??
Crippling debt
At this moment he realized. The debt was inside him all along
I forget…
Debt
*well-off ADHD tax.
Oh hey, I do all of these on a regular basis. And regularly got in trouble as a kid for being forgetful, despite the fact that I was a smart kid with good grades. Maybe I should talk to a doc…
Get disposable virtual credit cards.
I just delete my credit card right after I sign up, and then I don’t have to remember anything.
It’s also much easier to unsubscribe you use a new card for each merchant, and if you no longer want to use amazon just delere the card. No need to go jump through 10x hoops to cancel
Luckily my wife pays the bills in the house or I be a mess.
This is me too. I don’t think I could survive on my own.
I’m pretty good at making money tho. I’m even good at investing. But paying a simple bill requires 2 doses of Ritalin
Bingo…I got all the ADHD squares covered
Last week I forgot to pay for one of the items in my bag. Like genuinely forgot that I had it. Had to pay 165€ for shoplifting.
Also: meds cost the same amount as my phone bill. Adds up, too.
I dread this constantly.
A few months back I used self-checkout for a cart of groceries and instead of getting out my wallet to pay, I just got distracted and walked away…
When I got home, I was putting the groceries away and suddenly realized I didnt remember paying. Panic attack time. I was so sure of this that I called my wife at work and asked her what to do (I am not able to be rational when panicked.)
So I drive back to the store and tell the Customer Service desk that I think I walked off without paying. They literally didnt believe me, but humored me after I insisted. Eventually they located the Store Manager. 30 seconds after she showed up, she had my order pulled up, confirmed it was me and then had me swipe my card.
That whole thing could have gone much worse in any number of other ways. This kind of shit happens to me all the time. Eventually I will end up dead or in jail because of this shit.
Just obsess over making everything yourself for your hobbies and they cost a lot less. Shit now I need more tools.
uhhh. >_> who should I talk to about getting diagnosed?
I’d speak to your disability support network at work if you have one, or doctor, or anonymously speak to HR. I say anonymously cos they exist to protect the company not you
Easy fix. Just make sure you make enough to pay the adhd dues
These all hit home 😳
