I grew up believing in the American Dream. If you work hard, start your own business, are nice to you Mother and go to church on Sundays you will be able to live the American Dream. This possibility was open to all Americans ... you just had to work for it ... that made "US", the proud Americans different from the rest of the world.My friend Patsy, grew up that way, too. Patsy and I have been close since we were youngsters. We shared a lot of the same hopes and aspirations. We even watched "Leave it to Beaver" together ... LOL!
Over the recent years she and her husband, Peter have thrived. Business was good, they invested in real estate ... after all land is a great investment and invested in the stock market .... they weren't extravagant, didn't take expensive vacations ... weren't ones that had to buy the newest car or the have the latest electronics. Peter followed the advice of mentors and had enough money and credit cards saved away to last 18 months if "all hell broke loose"! Sounds like an idyllic life, huh?
Wake up AMERICA!
