"The American Dream" is a debt trap:
• $60,000 car loans
• $50,000 weddings
• $700,000 mortgages
• $200,000 student loan debt
$1 million of debt by age 30 for many.
Then work 40 hours a week for 50 years to pay it all back.
And get 2 weeks of vacation a year until you retire at 67.
It sounds more like the "American Nightmare".
