Getting rich. The American dream.
We see it in TV programs, commercials, magazines, the internet. We see it from the highway as we drive past a million dollar + mansion, the suit on the cell phone in the mercedes that passes us when we are already doing 10 miles an hour over the speed limit. We hear it on the radio - in the songs and on the news.
This isn’t even a realistic possibility for 95% of the population.
I’m interested to know if anyone reading the skunk thinks they will have over a million $ net worth in their lifetime or even wants it?
What impact has the illusion of getting rich had on our society in general?
One of these topics is going to generate some discussion… I know it.
That is if anyone is even reading them!

I often dream about rolling around naked in piles of $100 bills and caviar. To that end I have been trying to sell a testicle and a kidney (who needs two?). I have also tried to further my education in the futile hope that it would improve my financial situation. Oddly, this has only created an almost insurmountable debt level. Oh, and nobody seems to be interested in my excess organs. Any thoughts for me as I develope a Plan B?

You could try selling your body to the night.

…and if that doesn’t work you could try selling your body to “the Knight”!
BY the way, the first time I was exposed to the thought’s of this post on “the american dream” was from m.
m. Your thoughts or additions to this please, I couldn’t illustrate this with the same emotion/realization that I had about it when we were talking about it before. So, your insight would be much appreciated.
