Shameless Money About Dave
The person behind the Unbudget

A CFP® who couldn't manage his own money, then built the system that worked.

Dave DeWitt, CFP®. Adult-diagnosed ADHD. The person behind Shameless Money and the Unbudget, refined across hundreds of ADHD client engagements.

Why I built this

A CFP® who couldn't manage his own money.

I'm a CFP® who couldn't manage my own money. Depleted UTMA, credit card debt, and the specific shame of being a financial professional who was bad with money in private.

The turning point was realizing I had ADHD, and that most of what I'd been trained to teach was built for a different kind of brain.

I built the Unbudget, the implementation framework, out of that moment. The Shameless Money framework (Money Story · Money Map · Money Roadmap) came from running that system on myself and refining it across hundreds of ADHD clients.

That tension isn't something I hide. It's the whole point. The system had to be built by someone who needed it, for people who need it. Otherwise it would have been the same thing as every other budget that doesn't stick.

Who I work with

Two profiles. Same brain. Different surface.

Across hundreds of ADHD client engagements, the same two patterns keep showing up. Same dynamics underneath. Different shape on the surface.

Same ADHD brain dynamics. Different surface problem.

CFP® · CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™

Fiduciary standard. Plain-English version: legally required to act in your interest, not mine.

Adult-diagnosed ADHD

I built the Unbudget because the standard playbook quietly failed me. I use my own patterns as reference.

Fiduciary practice

No commissions. No product sales. The work is the work. You'll see every price on the site.

From someone who's been there

Because I've lived it.

The avoidance. The shame spiral after another overdraft alert. The strange experience of being "the smart one" who can't seem to do this one thing.

None of it is a character flaw. It's an executive function mismatch with tools built for a different brain. Until you've built tools for the brain you actually have, the loop keeps running.

I'm a fiduciary CFP®, adult-diagnosed with ADHD, with hundreds of ADHD client engagements behind Shameless Money. No commissions. No product sales. Just the system I had to build for myself, refined across the people who needed it the most.
