The American Dream

 

             The American Dream is not one dream, but rather many dreams of millions of Americans that have a goal in life. About 90% of these dreams are ones we too often hear. It is the desire to be wealthy, both socially and economically. It is said money brings forth happiness. To an extent, this is true. "Of course money buys happiness," writes Andrew Tobias (One Life of Chance). It's the old American dream to become wealthy, famous, and powerful.
             Can money actually buy happiness? Could a little more money make us a little happier? A lot of people agree to this. It's some connection between financial fitness and feeling fantastic. Most suggest how better off life would be if supplied with lots of money. Money is mandatory in life. Its what gets people where they are in life and maintains their status. Whoever says money can't buy happiness isn't spending it right! When a person can have anything he or she wants he or she is bound to be happy about that. People live in a country where all us citizens can have a home, food, and basic luxuries. A surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life's basic necessities, growing wealth hardly matters. .
             Fame in some American's eyes is the glamour of being a star, and having anything he or she wants at any time. In other's eyes, it's a wish not sought after. When Brittney Spears does a concert live to millions of people, its possible that she makes a couple million dollars doing it for an hour. Most people don't know or realize that it took months of preparation to do that concert. To be famous takes a lot of work and skills. Most high paying jobs require a college education. It takes a lot of hard work and time to achieve this. Therefore, working for wealth is a must. Most have this dream to become famous because of the perks. Have lots of money the first American dream, and be well known and loved by the world. When a person is famous anything that he or she desires can be theirs with the swipe of a plastic card.
