Finding the American Dream

As little as forty years ago, the roadmap to achieve the American dream was clear-you could do well in school, go to college, get a good job, and work your way up the career ladder. As a result, the average family could afford to buy a nice house, go on vacations, send their kids to college, and still have enough money left over to save for retirement. But today, following that same path does not ensure the same results. And many of us, even college educated professionals, still find ourselves living paycheck-to-paycheck, buried in debt.
