This is an interesting twist on the American Dream.  It is one that Bill Feela bings up in this blog and one that we all must think of.  If I had parents of nearing retirement age I would be taling to them to see what needs to be done to make sure they are secure.  I am going to do that right away for myself.

Buying a piece of the earth used to be the BIG American Dream.  Immigrants all over the world would come here for this Milk and Honey Dream.

But now days in this job market and rising costs, more and more seniors as saying that they Dream more about the ability to Retire.

Many have said that home ownership would be a second choice if they had to pick one or the other.

For many of us, we already have the American dream.  So, try and set yourself back before you bought your first home.  Look at the economy and ask yourself which would be your American Dream today.

So which is it?

For me, it would still be home ownership, but it is a very hard choice!

Okay, I'm at retiring age. But I have to say that if I hadn't invested in my home and a couple of investment properties, I'd be in much worse shape in regards to retirement. I still advise younger folks that owning a home is their best long term investment.
