So you invest in these retirement funds, and they get to pool money to invest into big corporations, say the like of Banks.

Then you go and take a 20 or 30 years housing/car/study loan from these institutions.

Steve Jobs on Focus

But as you move from one shiny object to another, you'll slowly discover a fundamental truth: You can't do everything.  And if you try, you won't do anything well. Steve Jobs Used the 30 Percent Rule to Bring Apple Back From the Dead (It'll Work for You, Too) By focusing on the best of the best, Jobs transformed Apple into one of the most valuable companies in the world.
