I do own a house. But it in no way represents any form of “American Dream” to me. It is a house.
In my thought if a house is the “American Dream” and I achieve it at age 25 or 30 or 35 then I am going to have a pretty bored life for the next 30 - 40 years.
The “American Dream” is freedom. Freedom to choose, freedom to live, to pursue and achieve whatever it is I desire......
That’s not the American dream, that’s the dream of every free person. Usually those in North America take that more seriously, but they are all over the world.
God created us to be free. We are all born with a desire for freedom.
