I think the American Dream is to get ass deep in debt and find a way to not have to pay it off. As I currently live in the country with the largest debt per person- I think it is attainable. German's don;t even own the land they live on- they lease it from the state for centuries at a time. If their cars are more than 5 years old- they have to pay incredible taxes on them- so they always buy new ones... oh and the dollar equivalent of a gallon of gas these days i 9-10 dollars. My dream? Not screw up my kids, have my husband in one piece to make it to AF retirement, and laugh a little every day. Maybe buy a house someday. A military wife can't expect much. :) So- owning a home… isn’t that the American dream too?
