Everyone on this forum pretty much recognizes that the "American Dream" is dead and gone. Our grandparents could work their way through college with little or no debt, get a job that paid enough where they could have a high standard of living and still be able to save/invest, buy a house early and pay it off fairly quickly, go on regular vacations, eat out frequently, and then retire comfortably at the end of it. Obviously (to us), this is no longer the case.
But even though the economy has done a 180 since that point, it seems that many younger people (<40) are in denial about it, desperately trying to live this same lifestyle they feel entitled to because their parents/grandparents had it (and going into massive debt to do it).
When you speak to friends and family about the economy, their career and standard of living, how many recognize the real state of the "American Dream", and how many are lying to themselves?
