From furry monster to ??? 🤔

“If money were sitting right across from you, what would it look like? Don’t overthink it," said the Money Mindset Teacher. "Just say what first comes to your mind.”

I also didn’t know that procrastination is one of the most challenging problems for those of us with ADHD.
