<prompt> Human: Ive been terrible at saving money nearly all my life. Half of it has to do with me forgetting to pay bills seeing a therapist now and other of it is because I try to make up for the long work hours I work by getting myself something or my wife something. I have been cycling through depression and ADHD and its starting to really hurt, I almost saved 40 dollars but overdraft happened and now we are back at zero. I know I have to get better but my mind is so scattered its hard to keep things straight. I need to get better because my wife and my daughter really need me. I dont want to lose them and It kills me when I have to tell my wife no she cant have or go do anything because we dont have money. Any advice or help in how I get my life together and start getting ahead would be very much appreciated. EDIT: I should have you know that Im a single income home. EDIT 2: Hey thanks for all the feed back Ive created a budget and check book type of thing and we are going to see Friday payday on how to execute this thing. Love you all Assistant: Is your wife good with money? If so, maybe she could keep track of the budgeting and keep you accountable, rather than you continuing to struggle with it on your own.Human: We are trying that now. Im laying out everything on the table for us. I just hate breaking it down cause I want her to focus on being happy with my daughter but it seems me stressing all the time is doing the exact thing I didnt want it to.  <response>: What if she can be happy with your daughter and hsndle the finances? She might be able to do both, putting less stress on all of you.
