It is tough starting from very little and when your family has very few financial reserves - to deny this is disingenuous.
You have fewer resources, less influential contacts, less social standing, and are viewed as more of a credit risk. You may be viewed as easy meat by competitors. You cannot afford the same premises or advisors or equipment and when you are short of cash there is no bailout buffer. You have more obligations and less time to rest. You are likely to be more stressed and if you get ill, you will struggle.
This sucks - big time. It is going to mean that quite often less competent or industrious people are going to enjoy greater success and prosperity.
But you cannot let that consume you. You can still do a great deal by using your initiative and using the opportunities that are available to you. Because, it is possible to succeed even from very humble beginnings - I have known quite a few people do so.
And work with good people. Find intelligent, hard working types who appreciate where you are at and what you are trying to do and who will have your back. Work with these people - make sure you have their back too.
With the right allies it may cost each of you half the time and half the pain to improve your financial situations by 100% compared to going solo.
With the wrong 'allies' you are committing suicide, so drop them. Whilst people can be your greatest assets, they will generally also be your biggest liabilities.
Statistically, even with changes affecting government and society, more people are likely to be of below average wealth.
So, if you want to pursue a system-wide level of change, I suspect that a measured approach to doing so would be wisest, using opportunities as they arise, focusing on your immediate circumstances first and being aware that the tangible outcome for yourself can be very hard to control.
