Please also consider that not everyone is neurotypical. I'm of course not diagnosing OP but things like ADHD make it a hell of a time trying to manage personal finances on top of the rest of your life.

If everything was just easy we'd all just do it.

Personal finances don't need to be managed. You put the money in something like Vanguard and get back to coding. However if you love money and relish the social status that spending it commands, then you might be struggling with neurotypicality.

Well I mean there's groceries and rent and bills and whatnot too, I don't think vanguard handles that for you
