What does "The American Dream" mean to you?

American dream is having the ability to live free..  Voting and no slavery for any race.

What the American dream means to mean is living a life with struggling from pay check to pay check.

the American dream has a different meaning to every citizen.The American dream offers the freedom to make both the large and small decisions that affect one’s life. For some it is the dream of freedom and equality, for others it is the dream of a fulfilled life or even the dream of fame and wealth.The American dream is achieved through sacrifice, risk-taking and hard work, not by chance. the American dream is the opportunity and freedom for all citizens to achieve their goals and become rich and famous if only they work hard enough.

The american dream to me is putting your Fusion Cash link on the right sites in the USA or Canada and getting 100s of referrals that join and go on to cashout forever!

Having a job that pays a livable wage, being able to own a home, and being able to send you kid to college if they are capable.

To me, the American Dream isn't necessarily a "thing" but rather the journey that one takes to reach a certain "goal." For instance, having a family, going through pains and struggles, making money, etc., is all part of a "journey" to become better. I think the American Dream is more of a motivational idea as to where people want to work towards a better life. You might see a successful person and think "wow, i want to be like that," and then you push yourself to become betteri n order to live like that
