Average Americans are Under More Pressure Than Ever

I have lived on this planet for almost 50 years and cannot think of a period that is more economically challenging for average Americans than right now.  Just think about some of the financial pressures being put on people:

• Gasoline at $4.00 per gallon
• Housing Values declining 20-30%
• Stock Market declining
• Average wages stagnated or declining in a shrinking job market                         

Typically any one of these factors would make the economic climate challenging, but all these factors combined are teaming up to create the perfect financial storm.

If you look at the mechanisms behind some of these factors, such as the housing market crisis, you can see that many of the problems are the result of the financial markets trying to wring as much profit out of the public sector by taking an elementary concept of our financial market, the mortgage, and getting very creative with both the packaging of the offer to the consumer as well as the investment market.

What About the American Dream?

It seems to me the concept of the American Dream is going to change very dramatically over the next 50 years.  Americans need to find a better way to accomplish the American Dream than relying on the credit card companies and scheming financial institutions.  Americans have given away a significant portion of their right to the American Dream by trying to live it by their rules.  Now is the time for all Americans to embrace change for the future and to understand that any future versions of the American Dream that are destined to succeed must involve greater understanding of financial issues and debt management.
