ADHD and Money

ADHD makes self-management challenging, and money management is also difficult. A proper mindset about money must precede financial freedom. Rather than blindly rushing towards money, it's essential to pause and clarify what money is, what mindset one should have, and organize our thoughts and emotions first to establish a healthy relationship with money. Often, the thoughts about money we accidentally picked up from parents and teachers during childhood can dominate our thinking.
As someone who used to live as a consumer and laborer, I changed my perspective on money and became liberated from it. Now, I live as a producer and investor. Through this book, I hope you achieve wealth with a wholesome and proper mindset about money. It is said that wealth given by God does not come with anxiety. Wealth without worry will make life happier. ----The ability to earn money comes from where?"Remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today." - Deuteronomy 8:18 The statement in Deuteronomy 8:18 suggests that God grants people the ability to acquire wealth, specifically the capability to earn money.
Money comes through work. In Korean four pillars of destiny, It is said that one can become wealthy by earning money and acquiring assets such as real estate. Money is a result of work. Work can love us back, and abundantly so. If a woman does not have her own work, she may end up relying on her husband or parents, leading a dependent and precarious life. While everyone is born with different fortunes and innate abilities, it is said that reading about ten thousand books can change one's fate.
What becomes of someone who has made such efforts? In my youth, I struggled to find my identity in human relationships, and my self-esteem was barely sustained through my studies, intellect, and work. It is said that a nation that memorizes prayers will not perish. Of course, there is the assistance of fervent prayers to God, but knowing the prayers also increases the likelihood of reading the Bible.
The Bible is a book that goes beyond circumstances, providing wisdom to overcome difficulties. I, having read the Bible nearly fifty times over from my twenties to thirties, find self-esteem in the person I have become, having overcome challenges. Some individuals lack the ability to earn money for themselves or cultivate such skills, resorting to subtly exploiting those around them as their main talent for acquiring wealth.
This is the case with our stepmother and her children. My brother, father, and I were usually on the giving end, while our stepmother and her children tended to take advantage by subtly siphoning off resources. I only came to realize this as I grew older-the fact that our stepmother was adept at thievery and opportunism. Confronting the true identity of the stepmother who raised me was an agonizing experience, to the point where it seemed easier for me to accept being the bad person.
Facing the essence of it all revealed the truth hidden within all the lies that had remained unresolved, allowing me to break free from the shackles of exploitation and regain wealth through freedom and my own abilities. Strangely, getting closer to my stepmother and her children consistently led to my increasing poverty. Even though my stepmother had no blood ties with me, if such an individual, completely unrelated by blood, takes advantage of my money, it is nothing less than fraud, theft, and exploitation.
Among the tactics used, the one that affected me the most was playing the sympathy card by feigning tears. Therefore, I tend to be cautious and skeptical of people who shed tears for sympathy.
