If you make a middle class salary, underspend your income by at least 10%, max out your 401k and IRA, invest in stocks, and start doing this in your 20s, yes, the odds are pretty good you will.
+1 and I would add try to own income rental properties by first buying an inexpensive house, not a huge expensive home; as soon as you can buy another inexpensive home and rent the first. Much better to own two modest homes and rent one than to own just one high maintenance cost huge home.
For the people who strongly dislike that opinion of mine, consider the hundreds of thousands of people trying to win that lottery by walking thousands of miles just for a chance to slip through the border.
