A lot of people, you know, there's so much household debt that people are running household debt and they're hoping that their super will sort it out and there'll be some more left over when they get to 65.

But 80% of people are still having some form of pension as well to top them up.

Oscar, I'm having a great day.

Thanks for asking.

It won't be so good tomorrow.

It wasn't so good yesterday, but I always enjoy the good days.

Look, Oscar, just on the ADHD.

I only realized I had it when I got this good day, bad day cycle thing emerged about six years ago.

But overall, I don't think it's been that bad because with ADHD, you can hyper-focus on things.

Yes, you take excessive risks.

So whether it's on the golf course or batting in cricket or making rash decisions, a lot of people with ADHD take big risks.

But I wouldn't have been a whistleblower or started crikey and done stupid, crazy risks, I don't think, if I didn't have ADHD.

And I like the fact that you can hyper-focus on things.

A lot of entrepreneurs have ADHD because they can really hyper-focus.

Sometimes you don't have a filter.

You lack empathy, hopeless mundane things.

You get easily bored.

You need adrenaline rushes.

But overall, I've enjoyed hyper-focusing on business and politics and I think it should be celebrated to a degree.

And you've just got to be realistic about it.
