the American Dream

1. The belief that anyone can succeed (often with an emphasis on material gain) through hard work. The American Dream feels less attainable the more I am crushed by student loans.

2. The achievement of wealth and success. After years of hard work, we finally have a big house and successful careers. We're living the American Dream.
