Is the American Dream Dead? In the 1970s, my family arrived in America fueled by dreams and driven by determination. My father, a skilled CPA from the Philippines, embarked on a bold business adventure with just $70, a family to support, and the American Dream in his heart.
Fast forward to 2024, and I'm grappling with a painful realization—the American Dream that brought us here seems to have vanished.
In this video, I explore the stark realities of today’s America, from the fading prospects of homeownership to eroding personal freedoms and the diminishing hope for our children's future.
Join me as I outline the 6 critical reasons why I believe the American Dream is no longer achievable for most.
