Ever wondered why “pay in four” buttons feel irresistible? They’re designed to exploit ADHD brain wiring—leveraging executive function deficits, dopamine manipulation, working memory overload, and future blindness.

Services like Klarna, Afterpay, and Affirm thrive on “phantom debt,” with the average person juggling 9+ payment plans and paying hefty merchant fees and penalties. Millennials and Gen Z—especially those with lower credit scores—are prime targets.

I share three harm-reduction strategies, including limiting yourself to 1–2 payment plans and finding non-spending dopamine boosts. That’s why I created the UnBudget—a free ADHD-friendly money system that works with your brain, not against it. Link in description.
