The American Dream used to be a house with a white picket fence.
Now there are many American Dreams.
Here’s what our readers strive for.
Do what I want
I built wealth so that I can do what I want when I want. That’s the American Dream to me.
Being debt free
Eliminating debt, well for me that's the American Dream.
Find peace within yourself
The American Dream to me is being able to do what you enjoy doing, to strive to be the very best at what you can do and balance your work life with your social and family life and find the peace within yourself.
Owning your own business
Knowing that you can launch a successful business amid the challenges.
Live off the land
My American Dream is to be self-sustaining. My husband and I want something simple... to live off the land and be debt free.
See the country
My American Dream was to travel around the United States and see it. I was 47 before I got to do it. I got a job driving 18-wheelers.
Helping others
Using all of the resources that we have to help as many other people attain their dream as well.
