    I believe that the American Dream is still a dream for most Americans and immigrants to America but the way most people view the way to get to the American Dream has changed.

    In the past, the American Dream was fulfilled by working hard and saving your money. Over the past many years, people have either not learned those basic lessons or they wish to avoid those necessary steps.

    We are bombarded with media messages that you can be rich overnight and that you can have everything and you can have everything right now regardless the cost or that you can write off the costs when you can't or are not willing to pay the costs to achieve the American Dream.

    In the past, many years ago, people realized that they cannot have everything that they want. Today, with media, we see others who have it all and we want it all too without realizing the sweat and sacrifice those with wealth gave to attain their wealth.

    In the past, people realized that if they wanted something, they put in hard work and they saved their earnings to pay for their desires. People today only want nice things, they don't want to work hard and save their money to buy the nice things.

    The American Dream is still alive for those willing to work hard for it.
