It's why people in America have little savings and maxed out credit cards.<BR/><BR/>To me, the American dream is the right to purse what makes me happy--with it be in the form of religion of my choice, a successful career, a solid family or all of the above.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13557348.post-55722487670663099172007-04-06T09:06:00.000-04:002007-04-06T09:06:00.000-04:00Keeping an open line of credit.Keeping an open line of credit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13557348.post-3562778423429244382007-04-05T15:01:00.000-04:002007-04-05T15:01:00.000-04:00The American Dream is all about "opportunity". An...The American Dream is all about "opportunity". And there is no other place that has as much opportunity as this country does. "Opportunity" does NOT equate to "Easy", though. Opportunities are hard to find. We just happen to have more available to us than most people. I think that it IS harder if you are not "well-off" to make it in this world, but only because of the mentality that is drilled into you if you belong to that class. "Live below your means." "Pinch your pennies." Not necessarily bad advice, but it breeds a certain mentality that basically... keeps you down. It makes you forget about that good 'ol American Dream. People stop trying to succeed and therefore lose sight of their goals. Or worse, they stop <I>having</I> goals.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948932943290994719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13557348.post-27824082632137954602007-04-05T09:47:00.000-04:002007-04-05T09:47:00.000-04:00I have always taken the "American Dream" to imply ...I have always taken the "American Dream" to imply something greater than myself rather than simply a list of what I think I should personally be able to acquire or reach. To me, my American Dream is to be able to spread the blessings, freedoms and happiness that I have in my life with those who don't. Be they other Americans, or not, that is my American Dream. Balance. Balance of necessities, of luxuries, of blessings of hope, of freedom, of happiness, of safety of everything. That we (the world) might all have 'enough'.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797634231980014686noreply@blogger.com
