The Real American Dream

My whole life I have heard people refer to “The American Dream” as owning a home; well that is until the real estate market came tumbling down in 2007. I am a bit of a skeptic anyway, but this “American Dream” has always concerned me; after all, is this really the ultimate accomplishment in our dreams? A country that has landed on the moon, invented electricity, sailed the unknown seas, built skyscrapers, developed the many travel industries that we use today, and so much more……”Owning A Home” is “The American Dream”.
I don’t know about you, but this is a very small accomplishment to label as “The American Dream”. The current real estate market has hopefully encouraged us to dream a little bigger, to realize that life has more to offer than a house.
I believe what people really want is “Financial Freedom”. Freedom from their monthly expenses, Freedom to do what they want and to go where they want when they want and the Freedom to travel the world. We want the Freedom to dare to spend our days doing something we love rather than doing something we tolerate to make a living.
Dare to step outside your comfort zone; make each day the best you can.
