Forgetting to pay a bill can lead to all kinds of problems which just further compound the issues of ADHD. ADHD people are sometimes messy, disorganized. Lots of piles around their living space.

It's not uncommon for ADHD people to lose money in terms of losing a gift card or gift certificate or literally, physically misplacing cash. Misplacing other items that they have to come to pay for because they assume the item is lost. There is a great amount of personal disorganization that gets to be overwhelming.

It can make things all the more overwhelming for somebody with ADHD. "
