The American Dream isn't dead.


But it's on life support.
For the first time in 50 years, more people are leaving the US than arriving.
77% of households can't afford a median new home.
Only 21% of Americans under 30 believe the Dream is still achievable. Down from 56% in 2010.
They haven't stopped wanting it. 86% still find it desirable.
They've stopped believing the country can deliver it.
This isn't a recession. Recessions end.
This is structural.
Housing. Healthcare. Debt. Stagnant wages. These don't fix themselves in one election cycle.
The Dream was never about being handed anything.
It was about the system giving you a fair shot.
Right now, it isn't.
