Ramit Sethi argues that Wall Street operates a rigged game where sophisticated investors profit while ordinary people, like a schoolteacher trying to secure their family's future, unknowingly lose. The system is deliberately opaque, allowing insiders to gamble with impunity while everyday investors cannot see the mechanisms stacked against them.
You don't even realize the game that's being played around you, but you are the victim. Hold on, I'm getting mad. Let me tell you why I'm getting mad. I don't mind if some sophisticated Wall Street investor loses their money because fuck you, you know the risks, you know the game you're playing. I do mind if an everyday person like a schoolteacher says, you know what, I really want to invest for my family's future. They don't understand the games being played around them. It's like they walked in to make an investment. They're really interested in doing the right thing and everyone else in the room is in on it.
