The analogy I always liked was:
Success is like a carnival dart game.
If you're poor you probably don't even get a chance to play. Maybe once with some help from friends and family. But even then, the odds are still not good.
If you're middle class you can afford a throw or two, significantly increasing the odds of success.
If you're rich you can afford to throw as many darts as you want until you succeed.
