Everybody says the way to become wealthy is to let money make money for you

I don't think so. I guess it depends on what you mean by "wealthy", but I'd say that's the way to go from "rich" to "super rich".

The way to become wealthy is to spend less than you earn. A lot less. When you have savings on the order of several years' worth of income, then a healthy return is real money. Until then, your budget matters a lot more.
