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
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.

Oof, isn’t airsoft a money sink as well?

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 feel personally attacked
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??
I forget…
Debt
*well-off ADHD tax.
Luckily my wife pays the bills in the house or I be a mess.
Everyone forgets shit. Get over yourself.
Placing all the things you personally forget in an ADHD box does not in any way absolve you.
Same way an autistic asshole is still just an asshole who happens to be autistic, one is not caused by the other.
Except that “forgetting things” is the most salient symptom of ADHD, while “being an asshole” is nowhere near the autism spectrum.
Right? “Forgetting things” is one thing…but whenever I have a home project I spend more time looking for my hammer multiple times than I do actually working. As an example.
I have 5 hammers, 2 identical drills, and 4 box cutters because of this.
I have some 20 pair of scissors for the same reason.
I don’t even want to know how many screwdrivers I’ll find when I pack my shit to move.
Object permanence is a big problem. A big expensive problem. I can set something down right in front of myself and lose it basically immediately.
This is the way. Picked this habit up from Adam Savage’s book.

Fuck off. This community literally has just the one rule.
Easy fix. Just make sure you make enough to pay the adhd dues
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…
washing clothes twice
Ha. I’m lucky if I remember to wash them once!
Just obsess over making everything yourself for your hobbies and they cost a lot less. Shit now I need more tools.
spends
\sigh
