The American Dream - Alive and Well?
June 26, 2012
My Time Magazine arrived yesterday and I was struck by the cover. In bold black print over a grassy lawn were the words "The History of the American Dream." In subtitle were the words "Is it still real?"
I have not read the article in depth and it is clear that it is tracing the groweth of the American economy and the opportunities that allowed folks to dream of a better life.
Early in the history of our country there was so much open land that the opportunities to prosper were available to almost anyone with a strong work ethic. Now, opportunities to prosper stil exist, Witness the rise of the young entrepreneurs whose technology devices have changed how we communicate and often how we work. However, we cannot all invent useful items and many of us depend on employment opportunities to begin experiencing the American Dream.
How much "owning your own home" has become a damaged dream due to this very deep recession remains to be seen. From an agent working with prospective buyers and sellers, it does seem that this dream is not dead. Owning that small piece of the earth that one can call "Home" still remains a goal for the younger generations.
