Ramit Sethi credits luck for his wealth, not just hard work. He calls out rich people who blame poor choices like buying avocados, ignoring how family background and geography shaped their own success. He wants a society that gives more people a real shot at a good life.
Do you understand how easy it would be for me to become one of these old rich multimillionaires who then says, "Hey, you all need to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Stop buying avocados." I detest those people because I know how much luck played a role in me becoming successful. And I also know that if I was simply born to different parents or in a different state or any number of things happened, I would not be in this situation. That's not fair. I don't expect everyone to become a multi-multi-millionaire, but I want you to have a shot at a good life.
