Let Us Talk Money: Subjectively Reported Financial Performance of People Living with Neurodegenerative Diseases — A Systematic Review

One of the abilities that seems particularly vulnerable to the impairments in NDDs is the capability to manage one’s personal finances. Indeed, people living with NDDs were shown to consistently present with more problems on performance-based financial tasks than healthy individuals.

While objective, performance-based tasks provide insight into the financial competence of people living with NDDs in a controlled, standardized setting; relatively little can be said, based on these tasks, about their degree of success in dealing with the financial demands, issues, or questions of everyday life (i.e., financial performance). The aim of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the literature examining self and informant reports of financial performance in people living with NDDs.
