A new study reveals that 67% of Americans believe they are on their way to achieving the American dream.
Throughout the country, most people hold a strong desire to achieve the “conventional” aspects of the American dream.
According to the Wall Street Journal, this includes owning a home, starting a family, and securing a comfortable retirement.
Despite this aspiration, only a limited number of people believe they can attain these goals. A new study reveals that 67% of Americans believe they are on their way to achieving the American dream, while 32% believe it is out of reach — up from the reported 24% last year.
