So growing up, I had this idea that the American dream was about that if you put in an honest amount of work, you would be rewarded with a good life. This would mean you would be able to take care of yourself and your family, afford a car and a house. In my view, working one job would probably be enough.
Nowadays, I get the idea that the American dream has become about working your ass off in order to have a chance to become a millionaire. Somehow glorifying “the grind” appears to be a part of it too now.
That is not what the poll said. 44% agreed with the statement “I believe I have the available tools to become a billionaire in the future” which is not the same thing. I believe I have the tools available to me to build a yacht, it doesn’t mean I believe that is likely to happen.
