Subscriptions

Subscription creep is a classic ADHD tax: free trials turn into monthly payments, annual renewals hit without warning, and cancelling somehow becomes a task your brain keeps postponing. It’s not that you don’t care. It’s that subscriptions are designed to be easy to start and slightly annoying to stop.

The ADHD tax isn’t about being careless. It’s the extra money you lose when executive function is under pressure - like late fees, forgotten subscriptions, and last-minute “panic payments”.
