Answer 1

1. As a teenager, what was your American Dream?
My American Dream was to get married, have kids, and have a successfull home buisness.

2. Are you living or working toward that Dream now?
I'm married, no kids, but going to school to work towards the home buisness.

3. Was there ever a time in your life where you reached or got one step away from your American Dream and then it all turned for you? I got married young and thought I'd never be able to make it back to school to get a degree, then I found a job at a school that pays for me to attend their classes. It also helped me figure out what my buisness is going to be.

4. Is your American Dream any different now than it was when you were a teen? How so? A little, insted of the nice cars and big house, and jet set lifestyle I imaged I want a smaller life. A nice regular sized house and regular cars and a regular family vacation to Flordia with screaming children sounds perfect.

5. As you get older, has the American Dream become more or less important to you?
More some days, less others. But this year less.

6. On a scale one to five (1 being not important at all), how important is money in your American Dream? 3, money is important to be able to keep my family safe and happy, but it's not a requirement

7. How often would you say you thought about your American dream? On a scale 1-5 (1=not at all). 5, all the time! Everyone wants the best in life, it just cahnges with you.

8. How much on estimate did your education affect your American Dream on a scale 1 to 5 once again (1 being not at all). 5! Without adn eduaction I would'n know what I want
