One of the most excellent books on the subject of wealth creation and maintenance is The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko.

It notes than most millionaires are small business owners who live well below their means. It also provides pithy insights, such as a $25 Timex and a $2500 Rolex tell time equally effectively.

I've made the book required reading for both of my sons. So far, the oldest appears to be embracing the message.

You’re right and small business ownership may well end up being one of the ways of a middle class life. That is how it used to be and people were both working in a marriage. The idea of a husabnd being the sole provider is in fact a very NEW concept and social setting and something I think is becoming obsolete mainly since men are showing they don’t need a spouse to keep their home neat and clean.
