3. Engineer booms .

You say that like it's a bad thing.
Without the housing boom of the 90s-00s I wouldn't have become prosperous.
And it was open to anyone.
People slag off Labour but your best chance of getting rich was during their term of office

No not at all. If you ride a couple of booms, avoid losing it in the bust, you can, as you say, go from humble beginnings to relative wealth.

Oh, and don't get divorced.

So when is the next boom? It just feels like buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust.

Each leg last about 20 years, so we've got about 15 years left on the bust, then the boom will begin. So expect to be rich in about 35 years time.
