The American Dream is not "just" owning a home. Let's get this "one and only" thought process out of the collective conscious. The American Dream is NOT about working long hours for someone else with enough money just to make ends meet, hoping for constant job security and matching benefits. The first thing Corporate America does is cut benefits. Yippeee, now you are a total slave to your money; trading time for dollars and unable to retire. I could (and should) rant about this for paragraphs and paragraphs....but....ah...NO.
The American Dream is about lifestyle. Yes everyone wants to own a home but there's more to The American Dream. The ability to leave for vacation and if you choose, be able to stay another week without worry or stress. The ability to pay for your children's education and retire wealthy enjoying your Golden Years. Living in your dream home with "your" luxury car having parties with friends and families.
The American Dream should be revered as the greatest opportunity for individuals to exceed to their highest capabilities with no restraints. After all we are living in the land of opportunity and not, "hey this is what you are supposed to do" mentality. Opportunities are endless to live this dream with excitement, fulfillment in all areas of your life and to mitigate stress as much as possible.
The American Dream should no longer be a dream, it should be your desire, your way of life, your goal. Stop listening to all the negativity in the news and those around you who constantly spew it out of their mouths daily. Ask yourself, when was the last time the "negative news" helped you achieve your goals and objectives? Yes there are certain things I follow in the news but it is pertinent to what I do so I can stay on top of my game.
It is time for you to stop living The American Nightmare and start living The American Dream!
Happy Reality (no more dreaming)
Tony
