With enough time investment, a good solid money investment (doesnt have to be huge or anything) and a good plan I think anyone can make it.
I know a few folks that got started after 2001 and are doing great. The way they do it is thinking outside the box.
It takes a pretty solid innovater, who can look at the whole grand scheme and figure out a solid plan that _no one_ else is doing right now, before you can make it happen.
If you're just doing what every other new kid on the block is doing, no, its going to be rough.
I would say that the truly dedicated and intelligent person with the right set of innovative ideas could go from zero to 20k a month within a year.
