: Is the American Dream still achievable? 🇺🇸

My take: It’s not gone, but it’s definitely harder now. High prices, low wages, and expensive housing make the climb tougher than it used to be. People can still make it—but it takes more struggle, more luck, and more support than before.

@jackrabbit10 What’s that got to do with anything ? If you can afford one, why not ?

@jackson55 what you see in the food lines and snap cards. are new cars. for what a new car payment is. you can buy a house. I drive a 1996 ford ranger, but I own my house.

@jackrabbit10 I agree with you. I drive an old Chevy pickup and own my own house.
But if one can afford $ 1000 car payments that’s their business.

@jackson55 it's their business. but it cost you and I in the long run. it's the kids that it hurts.

@jackson55 The conspicuous consumers are probably the least able to afford the good life.

@LamontCranston You may be quite right about that ?
