<prompt> Human: I live in the UK and while I know this isnt practical for long-term saving, Im trying to get myself to the point where I can say to myself okay, Ive done this, lets build on it and save more.I considered changing my money I want to save in to 2 coins. I looked in to gold but Id be seriously kicking myself if the prices dropped and I lost money, so coins it is.Any advice appreciated.EDIT: Youre all amazing. I actually feel positive that I can make meaningful progress and start some serious savings. Im going to give my brain a rest for the evening but Im looking in to round-up saving and fixed-term saving to keep my hand out the cookie jar.Thank you all for your contributions, I sincerely appreciate the time youve taken to help someone you dont know. Looking forward to posting an update!Assistant: Your thought process is essentially that youd like to make it more difficult for you to spend money. I dont think switching it to 2 coins is going to accomplish that, but its certainly creative.Track all of your spending for a few weeks. This will help you identify areas that you spend money unnecessarily and you can budget from there.Human: Thats precisely it; I need that hurdle. I have what they call champagne taste and a beer budget. I buy a lot of things Id like but dont necessarily need, so Im trying to make it more difficult for long enough to see a meaningful amount of savings that I can shift my obsessive personality in to saving more and more.I know it sounds pretty weird, but to say Im impulsive is an understatement and I am just trying to find ways to keep that in check and be more responsible.Without wanting to lay blame entirely on it, pretty severe ADHD manifests itself in impulsiveness for me. Not just with spending but with academic paths, career paths, hobbies... spending is a casualty of that.  <response>: Is your ADHD being treated? If so, it seems like it might be time to revisit your treatment plan. If not, try to start treatment. This is a serious thing impacting your life, and while coping mechanisms are helpful and can make a real difference, medication is the best way to help these symptoms.Making it harder to spend money is a good way to help slow down your spending. Perhaps there is a less drastic way to do that, though. Could you set yourself a rule about spending money? Like you have to go on a walk around the block first? Exercise is a great way to imrpove ADHD symptoms, and the walk can help distract you from whatever it was you were considering buying and make it less of an impulsive decision. You could also make sure that no websites ever store your cardbank account information. Maybe having to get up and go get your card every time will help with slowing down your purchases.If you arent already, come see us in rADHD.
