Its much more likely you can go from the lower class to middle class in one lifetime so long as you get educated. I think that's true even now.

I think that has remained true for a long time going back to the post WWII era. Getting wealthy or financially independent for J6P takes much more usually owning a business and a bunch of RE. But my point was if you were in say the Bay Area, NYC, Boston during those golden times you could almost throw a dot as it was much, much easier since RE values are even now up perhaps 20-25 fold since the late 1950's and during much of that time economically the areas that these folks controlled were on a constant economic upswing..
