Occassionally this finance writer for Yahoo puts out a good article. It is not very common for her, most of the time she just babbles about common sense finance issues. But this time I think she hit the nail on the head with the American Dream and how it has evolved. picked by TacoWallace 6 months ago

Interesting. I don't necessarily agree with everything she says but that's only because not enough time has passed to see if she's correct.

Agree that the new mantra of the coming generation will probably be time more than possessions. I think the world we grew up in will not be the world we live in a decade from now.

There is a book called "Bait and Switch: the (futile) pursuit of the American Dream" by Barbara Ehrenreich, who also wrote "Nickel and Dimed". She's a good writer, and this book title resonated with me.

My mother said in the early 90's that my generation (Cusp of Boom/Bust) will be the first that does not do better than their parents. It's true so far....
