>>7235191My dad always told me that there are only three ways to become really, really rich. Either you win the lottery, you inherit the money from someone or they just decide to give it to you, or you work hard at whatever it is you're doing for money and try to be smart with your earnings.
With no rich family and relatives, as well as the overwhelmingly low odds of winning the lottery, you're only left with the last option. I guess you can look at it like a character building experience though. If you were able to become rich just by adeptly managing your money, you could look back on the times when you weren't so wealthy and think about how you've gradually and carefully made your way up to upper class section of society over time.
