Managing money is a necessary skill for people to remain living on their own or independently. When individuals have cognitive impairment (difficulty thinking and processing information) from medical problems or mental illness, or as a consequence of dementia or Alzheimer disease, money management and other activities of daily living may become confusing or difficult. Cognitive impairment may appear slowly over time, but one of the first signs of dementia may be inability to manage finances. Problems with daily life may be hard to spot, even for regular caregivers of the person with cognitive impairment. Sometimes a major event, such as repossession of a car or foreclosure of a mortgage, happens before problems with money management are discovered.
