Hey Justme,
The American Dream, or so it use to be called, was to own your own home and have 2.5 kids.
I think that came out of WWII as a marketing campain to keep people happy with the status quo. Today, that dream is alive in some people, but it has morphed.
Now, people want 3 Big Screen Tvs, 4 car garage, 4000 sq ft living space, 4 bathrooms, 1 kid if by accident, and all the toys and gadgets they can get.

House, white picket fence, 2 cars and 2.5 kids. Most people still want those things but I think it is on a grander scale now. They want a Benz and a Cadillac and a mansion suitable for cribs and gorgeous little bastards that are always complaining.
