The American Dream is a fantasy, cooked up by marketing firms trying to peddle products that at best are mostly useless and at worst are dangerous. It was a nightmare from the start.

Yes the American dream still happens but is a rare rare case now. Generation no longer are progressing but regressing. The rich and poor divide has gotten to great that only if you are born into money already can you experience the American dream.
Even Bill Gates who was born middle class, was lucky enough to have funding by his uncle when he was programming in his garage. The poor have no way whatsoever to go up today.

The American Dream--as I see it is to complete school, get a good paying job, find a beautiful spouse, buy a home, raise a family, worship as you choose, live in peace and safety.
So far in my life all of these have come true. America is the greatest country on the planet. We enjoy a quality of life that people in Mexico would kill for, people in uncivilized, barbaric nations like Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc... don't even understand. They've been living in darkness for so many hundreds of years they see America as a great threat. Of course it is to their 13th Century manners and morals.
Long live the United States. The promised land.

I think so. It used to be owning a home and being gainfully employed until you are 65 and able to retire. Now it seems to be about college and then some more college, money, 2.5 kids, dog, a perfect ***, volunteering, advocating for some good cause, finding inner peace, multi tasking, and maybe when you are 70, if you are lucky, retirement.

The American dream goes both ways. You have the right to succeed beyond your wildest dreams OR fail miserably and fall on your face. They key to either scenario is YOU!
