I don't think everyone can end up rich (and I guess we will have to quantify what "rich" means) but I do believe, as I said in my OP, that being habitually broke is most often the cause of the individual more than any other factor.

You don't have to attend college to be successful in many cases (I didn't), but should someone desire to, there are lots of ways to pay for it.

Most people don't have that advantage, and unless they happen to do all the right things and be at the right place at the right time, they probably are going to live out a pretty average existence.
Most people are pretty average, Steve. That's why it's called "average".
