Is this biggest misconception false?

The biggest misconception we are getting is that people that have high salaries have always had high salaries. What about people that started off poor, busted their ass, worked their way up, and then are finally making good money at age 45 or 50?

or how about this premise?

If you are tired of seeing rich people get all the breaks, work hard, make the right choices, and be rich yourself. But I'll bet once you achieve that goal, you'll might possibly be a little older, you might possibly have a family you are trying to support, and you might possibly being getting to retire pretty soon.

The rest you can take or leave but aren't there many examples of the above, including quite a few here? (i.e., not necessarily becoming rich but working one's way up and in time, you make enough to support a family and a decent living). In grad school, I was dirt poor where I had to beg for money to eat. 25 years later, working hard, I am definitely not poor anymore.
