American Dream Fades: Poll Reveals Growing Pessimism About Financial Goals A recent Wall Street Journal/NORC poll reveals a significant disconnect between Americans’ aspirations for the traditional elements of the American Dream and their perceived ability to achieve them. While the vast majority of respondents consider owning a home, having financial security, and enjoying a comfortable retirement essential or important, only a small fraction believe these goals are easily attainable. This sentiment is particularly pronounced among younger generations, who face challenges such as high housing costs, steep interest rates, and substantial student debt. The survey indicates a marked decline in the belief that the American Dream is still achievable, with only about a third of respondents now holding this view, compared to more than half just twelve years ago. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts The Royal Mint’s Growing Interest in Singapore READ MORE Gold Prices Tick Higher in Anticipation of Influential U.S. Inflation Data READ MORE High Oil Prices Halt Biden's Plan to Replenish Strategic Reserve READ MORE New Highs For Gold & Bitcoin: Monthly Wrap with Alan Hibbard READ MORE Stocks, Gold Rise on Bet on Aggressive Fed Rate Cut READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
