Have a tightarse father instill 'save save save' thinking into you.
Work when you're a kid, never spend anything and earn money off savings in form of term deposit interest.
Because father is Scrooge, he has savings and uses them to pay up front to get you cheaper uni bills. Luckily siblings do not attend uni. Work nights during uni. Save.
Study something that pays well, be good at it, get job doing it, impress bosses and work full-time while finishing uni, earning decent money. Save.
Move country, spend all savings on booze. ;)
Work briefly as courier. LOL.
Go back to doing job you're good at that pays well. Earn more. Save.
Repeat.
Buy small dog kennel in London. Rejoice when it's paid off just in time for you to leave country because forrun muck ain't welcome.
There's no magic to it but if you happen to like doing something that also pays well it's a lot easier than if I was still cleaning labs or picking grapes or whatever.
