As someone who's come from an upper middle class family, got rich in early 30's, lost all money over women and got poor in mid 30's, got rich again briefly afterwards, got very poor again afterwards living in a shelter, and then finally got rich yet again... I can attest that every time I got back up, I pulled myself up by my bootstraps. It was a very effective technique. I recommend it!
Joe: Mom, they fired me from the job! Said I can't code for shit!
Mom: Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps son! Life is tough, but you gotta be tougher and beat it!
