How do you feel when you think about taking ADHD medication? Nervous? Hopeful? Overwhelmed? The process of obtaining and finding the right medication can feel like A LOT. First, you have to approach the subject with your doctor (who may or may not be well-informed about ADHD) -- and then there is finding the right type and dosing of medication, dealing with potential side effects, and the whole process of trial and error. It never goes perfectly. But it can go more smoothly -- when you take a few steps to plan and prepare for it. On this episode of Motherhood in ADHD, I share all my best tips and strategies for starting ADHD medication that I learned the hard way -- from tackling that first conversation with your doc, to riding out your first few months. You'll learn: Tips for remembering to take your medication daily (No more, "Ugh, did I actually take that today?" moments) How to take your medication for maximum effectiveness How to work with your doctor to start and stop medication safely Tips for finding the right dosing What to do if you can't afford your ADHD medication Tips for approaching the topic of ADHD medication with your doctor (No, you're not a "drug seeker"!) And so much more! Your first go-round with ADHD medication doesn't have to be a disaster. You deserve to feel confident, informed and fear-free while you find a treatment plan that works for you. **This material is not intended as medical advice.

This week we talk about Rubinomics, government spending, and US federal debt.We also discuss the Government-Household analogy, the House of Representatives, and the looming government shutdown.Recommended Book: Quantum Supremacy by Michio KakuTranscriptEarly in November 2023, the credit firm Moody's lowered its outlook on the US government's credit rating from "stable" to "negative," pointing at a huge decline in debt affordability—the government's ability to borrow money cheaply, basically—and an ever-increasing, already gargantuan deficit as its primary justifications for that change.And those issues are on top of another standoff in the House of Representatives over funding the government, which, if something isn't done, will come to a head on November 17.A previous agreement struck by the previous House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, expires on that day, and if a new collection of 12 funding bills, which are what allows the government to pay for things, are not passed by then, the government could be shut down, possibly further diminishing the government's rating, on top of the many other consequences of not providing funding for things like national defense, energy and water development, and the Justice Department.This new reduction in outlook by Moody's follows a recent downgrade by Fitch back in August, when that ratings firm dropped the US government's rating from AAA to AA+, largely because of all the down-to-the-wire negotiations about funding the government that have roiled Congress over the past few years, and what that kind of tumult does to a government's ability to say for 100% certain that they'll pay their debts and never default; the US has never defaulted on its debt, but the possibility becomes more realistic-seeming each time these politicians fail to provide funding for essential government functions, including, debt-paying.Fitch also, like Moody's, cited the general diminishment in fiscal circumstances across the government, though, referring to a collection of variables that have been weighing down the state's capacity to acquire cheap debt.Ratings are one such variable, as each decrease in a nation's credit rating makes debt more expensive, folks and other states buying bonds and treasuries and the like demanding more interest for the same amount of loaned money—which is what those sorts of financial instruments are, at the end of the day.But beyond reputation, there are also factors like high interest rates, hiked by the Fed in order to tamp-down on inflation, and the accumulated interest payments that must be paid on previous debt taken out by the government to pay its bills.So in addition to the government suddenly having to pay more interest on all its new debt, it also has to pay more and more interest on its existing debt, and that latter figure is compounding to the point that a lot of folks who are otherwise generally unconcerned about such things, are starting to take what could turn out to be practical notice.What I'd like to talk about today is Rubinomics, government spending, and why the US federal debt is becoming a political talking point once more.—In the context of federal spending, fiscal responsibility refers to the balancing of a state's budget so that its spending is almost always close to, or below its revenue.So if a government brings in a trillion dollars in revenue, from taxes, for example, and spends a trillion dollars to keep agencies running, infrastructure maintained, and its military up to date, that's a balanced budget.If that same government were to spend a trillion and a half dollars without increasing tax revenues, though, it would have a deficit of half-a-trillion dollars.And if it were to spend less than it pulls in, if it were to reduce the social safety net programs it provides or spend less on its military, and thus only spent a half-trillion of the trillion it earns in taxes, that would represent a surplus of a half-trillion dollars.This is similar, at its most basic, at least, to how an individual might manage their money.Spend more than you make and you'll tend to go into debt, spend less than you make and you can sock money away or invest it, and spend exactly what you make, and your bills will all be paid without accruing debt.This comparison, though intuitive in a way, at least for the purposes of defining the outline of how this works, is also quite flawed—and economists have given it a name, potentially to make criticizing it that much easier: they call it the Government-Household analogy.And this analogy is often-touted by politicians, usually when they want to criticize their opponents for their spending by making it seem like they're less capable and responsible than the average heads of a household; why should we good, hardworking citizens be required to assiduously manage our personal economies, but these freewheeling politicians can't seem to balance a budget of billions or trillions of dollars?The analogy falls apart, though, when you look at the specifics of a household versus a government.Governments, after all, can literally print money if they so choose. They also tend to get far favorable terms on debt, can increase their budgets by raising taxes, and, oddly, if you think of a government as a household, different facets of a government can owe other facets money, so part of the debt owed might be owed to itself.While this analogy is often convincing to voters, then, it's not terribly useful as a model for economists and folks working to actually manage budgets of the scale and with the peculiarities of a government's budget.All that said, there are pros and cons to every possible approach to government debt, as running a deficit, spending more than is pulled in via taxes, means that a state can invest in more programs and infrastructure, and just like a company taking on debt to invest in more manufacturing capacity or warehouses or restaurant locations, that can mean setting things up for growth in the future: a healthy, happy, secure, well-educated populous will tend to do better than the opposite, so spending money on programs that improve and amplify those sorts of things can lead to more revenue sometime later.On the other hand, just like any other debt, federal debt tends to be paid back with interest, and that means the government taking on such debt will not just be on the hook to pay back the initial, principle amount they borrowed, but more than that—and possibly, especially if debt accrues for a long while, or accrues during periods of high interest rates, for them specifically, or more globally, they could be on the hook for a lot more than that.The last time the US government had a balanced budget was in 2001, and it's enjoyed the same for five years total in the past five decades—four of which were the years leading up to and including 2001, the fifth being 1969.This is such a rare state of affairs, in part, because the general economic consensus, amongst economists in the US, at least, is that federal debt isn't a big deal, that it tends to lead to more benefits than downsides, and that it is therefore prudent to not balance the budget, most of the time, because doing so leads to austerity—severe cuts in vital programs and other investments—and that hobbles the nation and its capacity for growth over the long-haul.Balancing the budget just to balance the budget, then, isn't really such a good thing, according to this prevailing theory; it's a compelling rallying cry for some folks occupying some spots on the ideological spectrum, traditionally those on the conservative side of things more than the left, but not spending also comes with consequences, and those consequences tend to outweigh the downsides of accruing some amount of debt, year to year.This mainstream sensibility about debt, though, was subbed-out during that 1998-2001 period, during the Bill Clinton administration, when the Treasury Secretary, Robert Rubin, implemented a policy that became known as Rubinomics, which was defined by an attempt to keep the federal budget balanced as part of a larger effort to control inflation and interest rates—the theory being that this would improve perception of the US economy, which in turn would lead to more investment, local and international, and would allow US economic entities, and thus, US citizens, to flourish.There's been a fair bit of debate as to whether this theory was proved-out by Ruben's policies.Yes, the US economy absolutely killed it while Clinton was in office, and yes long-term interest rates on treasuries and bonds dropped, making it less expensive for the government to take on debt when it wanted to borrow money for whatever.The country's GDP averaged around 4% during that period, inflation maintained a 2.5% rate, which is just north of the 2% rate the Fed prefers, and the US economy saw its longest continuous period of expansion at any point in history.But, and this is a big but, those variables might have also been tweaked by the so-called "peace dividend" of the late-1990s, which was defined by a post-Cold War drawdown of military activity and thus, military spending around the world during that span of time.They may also have been influenced by a series of new trade agreements, hands-off monetary policies, and the benefits of new technologies that were finally being exploited for profitable purposes after a long period of investment, like the consumer internet.So there's a chance that Rubinomics played a role in all that monetary flourishing, but there's also a chance that it was either just one of several influences, or maybe it was mostly just a bystander, or even a downward pressure, on the same, the flourishing primarily or totally the consequence of other variables.Today, part of the aforementioned drama playing out in the US House of Representatives is being driven by a focus on reducing the federal deficit, the total debt the US owes, which recently hit an all-time record high of something like $33 trillion, which carries a total interest payment, as of 2023, of somewhere between $659 billion and a cold trillion dollars a year, depending on who's numbers and analysis you use.That interest payment, at that level, has become one of the top expenses, of any expense category, for the government, surpassing things like the cost of all transportation and veteran's benefits payments, and approaching, or surpassing, depending on which figure you use, the cost of Medicare or the Military.It's primarily, right now at least, the further right members of the House that are demanding substantial cuts to the budget, the Senate mostly keen to keep spending levels where they are, and the majority of House Republicans seem happy to do the same, though Democrats are more likely, on average, to want higher levels of spending nearly across the board, again, right now—who wants what tends to change, at least in the specifics, every decade or so.And this is such a big issue right now in part because of that ballooning deficit, and in part because there's just a lot to spend on, these days, with military and humanitarian funding for Ukraine and Israel on the table, alongside investments in renewable energy infrastructure, in health care, and in other such—by some estimates at least—foundational elements of the government's various programs and priorities.Last weekend, reports from within the House indicated that the new house Speaker, Mike Johnson, wants to pass a stopgap funding bill to avoid a government shutdown before the November 17 deadline, and to do so, he wants to break the funding extension into two parts, rather than having Representatives vote on all 12 funding bills all at once.Each bill would cover different aspects of government funding and would extend spending a little further into the future, keeping spending levels where they are, currently, and providing no new funds to Ukraine or Israel—the former of which is a sticking point for a lot of conservative Representatives, and though this approach is meant to win over enough people from both sides of the aisle to get a stopgap funding bill passed in time to avoid a shutdown, folks across the political spectrum have seemed generally unhappy with it; voting on this could begin as soon as today, and we'll see if people are unhappy in the sense that they didn't get what they want, but they're okay to keep fighting for those things they want while the government stays open, or if they're unhappy in the sense that they'll play chicken with a government shutdown in order to prove their point; for what it's worth, analysts seem pretty mixed on whether this will work or not, at the moment.This general topic, that of the deficit, is likely to only become a more pressing issue, and thus, a more potent political hot potato, as interest rates, which look likely to stay high for at least another year, increase the debt-load the US government has to tend to, making debt more expensive for the government, and safe investment vehicles like treasuries more lucrative for investors—which can have the knock-on effect of making stocks and similar, riskier investments less appealing, possibly hindering economic investment and development even as the government watches the interest payments balloon as an increasingly major expense on its accounting spreadsheets.Show Noteshttps://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/042415/what-are-pros-and-cons-operating-balancedbudget.asphttps://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/11/politics/house-speaker-mike-johnson-pitches/index.htmlhttps://archive.ph/iyAwIhttps://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/rubinomics.asphttps://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/02/14/facts-about-the-us-national-debt/https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-debt/https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/-ungovernable-house-republicans-nix-votes-two-funding-bills-shutdown-d-rcna124441https://www.reuters.com/world/us/where-are-12-us-govt-funding-bills-avert-shutdown-2023-11-08/https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/10/20/interest-debt-payment-treasury/https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00213624.2007.11507047https://nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-republicans-unveil-plan-avert-government-shutdown-week-rcna124629https://www.reuters.com/world/us/where-are-12-us-govt-funding-bills-avert-shutdown-2023-11-08/https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/moodys-changes-outlook-united-states-ratings-negative-2023-11-10/https://www.ft.com/content/226b4ebc-f405-4e03-8b40-44cd9fbb69d0https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/fitch-cuts-us-governments-aaa-credit-rating-by-one-notch-2023-08-01/ This is a public episode.

In this episode of the Planned Solutions Incorporated Podcast, The US Treasury is becoming a larger and larger focus of Wall Street as the US Government has been borrowing very large amounts from the private sector. With the current large federal deficit, the need to roll over short-term borrowing, higher interest rate costs, and reduced lending from foreign entities have caused the US Government to borrow more and more from the domestic markets. This creates a risk that there will be too little debt available to fund the private sector. Also, When an employee leaves their employer, they often have the option to keep their money invested in the employer's retirement plan. However, employees with small balances may be “forced out” of the plan by having their money transferred to an IRA. The definition of a small balance will be increasing from $5,000 currently to $7,000 in 2024 making it so the “force out” may impact more employees in the future. Plus, Credit cards can be a valuable tool for processing payments while earning rewards. However, the negative side of credit cards comes when balances accumulate and are rolled over from month to month resulting in high-interest charges. Therefore, it is important to have a plan to limit the impact of credit card debt as quickly as possible. This includes finding the reason the debt accumulated in the first place and taking action to reduce the likelihood that it will continue. Plus a look at the Planned Solutions Incorporated Office Bulletin Board - Chase and Daryl recently attended the Financial Planning Association of Northern California's Fall Symposium. The event was held at California State University, Sacramento in an effort to engage with students working toward a degree in Financial Planning. Planned Solutions sponsored a golf tournament supporting the Assistance League of Sacramento. The Sacramento Chapter is one of 120 Assistance League chapters nationwide in which volunteers work to improve their local communities.

When you don't feel sure of your choices, it starts to seep into your confidence level. Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) shows up to make you doubt your parenting decisions, increasing the guilt around what you should have done, and layering in the shame on how you're ruining your kids forever with your mess ups.Yikes! RSD also taints how we relate to our partners, which can stir up the same conflict over and over again. It influences how we react to the slightest eyebrow raise and every “what if” scenario. It makes you scared to bring up important conversations.  Knowing it's not just you is half the battle. Let's dive into how we can better support and care for our families and partners, by starting with ourselves.   Stop Medusa Mom in her tracks with these 10 tips to calm down before you lose your cool!

Join Jim and Greg as they set the stage for today's off-year elections that will have big consequences in states like Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey and more. Then they kick off the martinis with a focus on Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds endorsing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president. How much does her endorsement matter and will we actually get a competitive primary?They also shudder at the news that our annual interest payments on the national debt are now more than $1 trillion per year. It's an issue that both parties have intentionally ignored for decades and the consequences are going to be ugly.Finally, they roll their eyes as Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz insists that lousy polls for President Biden over the past two years are merely a "messaging issue."Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

The Carolina Hurricanes rallied from a 3-0 second period deficit to defeat the New York Islanders, 4-3, in overtime.  Sebastian Aho's 2nd goal of the year sent them back to Raleigh with 4 of 6 points on a 3-game road trip.  Jalen Chatfield's 1st goal of the season came just 32 seconds after the Islanders scored to make it 3-0 and started the comeback.  Dimiti Orlov also scored his first of the year -- and first in a Carolina uniform -- followed by Jesperi Kotkaniemi's 5th as the Canes rallied to set up Aho's extra time heroics.  Antti Raanta made 22 saves in the win.

What does the inside of your kitchen junk drawer look like?   And why is it always in the kitchen?  We all have a random smattering of ideas laying around and today I'm sharing a few that wouldn't necessarily make a whole episode in and of themselves, so I'm combining these random thoughts rattling around my brain into one Junk Drawer episode.  First, we cover a few questions around ADHD medications with some crowdsourced helpful tips on how to find medicine with shortages happening everywhere, as well as what it feels like when I forget to take my medicine (a clear indicator towards it not being addictive when you use it as prescribed). We're also talking about emotions surrounding a late ADHD diagnosis, exploring feelings of frustration and grief while questioning if things would have been different had we known earlier? Shout-out to listener Sara, who suggested this topic! Then, I'm celebrating our amazing sponsors: Skylight Calendars, Calm Strips, and Time Timers, who believe in our mission and help keep this podcast free for you. I'm so thankful to be working with great companies who are amplifying our goal of sharing quality ADHD info in the world. You'll only hear recommendations for great products that I love and use myself.  Finally, I'm wrapping up by courageously reading some of my bad reviews (yikes!), an experience that can be both daunting and enlightening. Here's how I deal with negative feedback and RSD, and still choose to share so much of myself online. Let's dive into this "ADHD Junk Drawer" together!

As the federal budget deficit widens, we’ll take a look at one contributing factor: the Federal Reserve’s obligation to pay interest to banks. It’s outpacing income the Fed makes from the securities it bought as part of its quantitative easing strategy. Also in this episode, women who’ve started their own businesses weigh in on the pros and cons compared to traditional jobs. Hydropower dams struggle in the face of changing weather patterns, and the H-1B visa application process may get some updates.

WarRoom Battleground EP 401: US Posts 1.7 Trillion Deficit; Tampered With Vaccines

Over a year, the federal deficit — the gap between what the U.S. government spends and what it earns — has doubled, to nearly $2 trillion.That figure seems to validate the worries of congressional Republicans about government spending, which have been at the center of the messy fight over who should be House speaker.Jim Tankersley, who covers economic policy at the White House for The Times, explains the Republicans' concerns — and why their plans would not come close to solving the problem.Guest: Jim Tankersley, an economic policy correspondent for The New York Times.Background reading: The U.S. deficit effectively doubled in 2023.This is why the federal deficit is growing.For more information on today's episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.
