I'm fairly sure it's easier than ever to get rich. Like I grew up with a single mother on welfare and became a millionaire at 25, obviously this is not normal/typical but it's not exceptionally rare like it was in the past if you're top 5% or higher intelligence and work hard as fuck.Especially if you're born in shartmerica where just acing school can get you rich.
