America is a free country (the American Dream) where you are free to do just about whatever you want to do, and it’s a place where everything is an option. Yet for most of us, really the only option is to continue the cycle of getting, earning, buying, and paying the bills. Have you traveled to your dream places? You may get two weeks of annual vacation (if you’re lucky). Some of the European nations get six weeks per year. Yet, America is the richest nation. Huh, the irony…

We Americans are funny like that-always swimming in the debts of our stuff. Yet the workahol was always there for us, and our American pit bull terriers became fat.
