- Gilad attributes his poor financial management partly to ADHD and a tendency to help others.

Television and radio presenter Avri Gilad candidly discussed his financial situation and struggles with saving for retirement in a recent podcast interview with Itay Segal of All-in. Gilad admitted that his financial management has been poor, attributing it partly to ADHD, and that he has not saved adequately for his future.
When asked about his aspirations for the next decade, Gilad humorously responded, "First of all, to win the lottery." He explained that despite years of hosting successful prime-time shows, he has not accumulated significant savings because he tends to give money to those in need rather than setting it aside. This has prevented him from retiring at this stage.
Gilad stated that he continues to work because he needs to, not because he desires to. While he has the essentials like a home, car, annual trips abroad, and can provide for his daughters, he acknowledges he is not the financial "empire" some of his peers have become due to his poor financial planning. He also shared a recurring fantasy of what he would do if he won 60 million shekels in the lottery, which involves helping people he knows clear significant debts and providing them with housing.
He also mentioned that his financial situation prevents him from retiring, and he is not living paycheck to paycheck but is far from being a financial powerhouse. He stated that he has everything he needs, including a home, a car, an annual trip abroad, and the ability to buy his daughters what they need, but he did not leverage his star status to build wealth.
