Which is basically a multimillionaire in today’s standards. Unless you mean two junkers and a house in the hood. I’m not opposed to the latter but it’s hardly anyone’s first choice.
You’re being very hyperbolic. We have a house and two cars. I have around $200 in my bank account. Admittedly, it helps that we do not live in the most desirable part of the country, but we also live paycheck-to-paycheck and have not even ever been hundred thousandaires.
You can’t be poor and achieve it, but you don’t have to be rich either.
I didn’t mean to suggest that. Housing prices and car prices are ridiculously and unnecessarily high. I’m just saying that the American dream has morphed into something that at least a large proportion of the population can even now achieve into something that almost no one can achieve.
Become? They call it the American dream because you gotta be asleep to believe it.

The American Dream has morphed into this “anyone can be rich” idea.
When I was a kid, it was a house and two cars.

I feel you. I have my house in the hood with my two Hondas.
Shit should not be this difficult.
A $200,000 home isn’t luxury but it also isn’t the American dream.

Yeah, it was started by rich people looking to increase their wealth and influence and has remained under their control ever since.
