What are the chances of our generation to make big in Life?

Today I am traveling from Pune to Hatia in 3rd AC. In my compartment there is one BIHARI budhau uncle and his wife, one mid age couple, a man in his 25 and me. I boarded somewhat close to departure time, these uncles had already occupied the space beneath seat with 5 suit cases. I had to keep my S size trolley with me on the seat. And then the budhau uncle started to brag. He introduced himself as retired navyz with his son also in navy ( shady right? ). Now even without asking someone he started to brag about his properties, a 8bhk home in Dhanbad, some n-bhk home in Salt Lake Kolkata, and 2 bhk flat in Pune which he bought recently @85 lakh. He reiterated he being Navy almost in every conversation after pause. And here I am , 25M earning 30k as SWE and I thought will I ever be able to buy a home in such cities? After independence, these govt bureaucrats and BABUS have amassed wealth with their son settled in US or European countries while the common man has remained more or less in similar position. Do our current generation has such chance of escaping from current hellhole and make big in life?
