Lots of people do have a chance. The problem is they don't want to put in time & effort that it takes. They want it for free & we know nothing worth the effort is free. Too many are not motivated & choose the wrong ways because they get into wrong crowds. Parents not parenting!

Making money may not be a good thing or a bad thing, but how you make it and how you spend it can be.

"Create wealth" = extract wealth from natural and human resources. Undervaluation and/or abuse of those resources is what yields the majority of profit.
