On the other hand I don't think you ever in the history had as wide opportunities as you do now

You can live in some shithole where 400$/month is easily enough to live without struggle, learn hard computer stuff and then work remotely for X times more than you needed to live.

How are you going to skew the odds if you aren't even trying?

Internet is huge advantage, you can not only have access to good information/knowledge/tutorials/blabla about something,

but also you can meet professionals with decades of experience in $something significantly easier

There were periods in history with great opportunities where many people actually really richer. Economies always went up and down, where up literally means opportunities.

Brief periods, for a few. Basically no different from now.
