he more we have, the more we’re worth and the better accepted we are in society.

Wouldn’t it be better, though, to have more and spend the same or, even better, spend less? Wouldn’t it be liberating to know you have a fortune in the bank and no creditors looking

We all strive for the pie in the sky called the American Dream, which basically translates into the continuous quest for a larger wallet. This dream, however, has a fundamental glitch, a virus in its software, a gaping hole in its foundation—the wallet is never quite large enough. This means that the Dream will never become a reality. Some may snicker and say this is preposterous; however, the truth is that the more training you receive, the more credentials you obtain, the better promotions you attain, the more money you make, the more money you spend. Is this 100% true of every successful person? Of course not! There are the select few who continue to live their lives as if they had $100 in the bank, while their paychecks are seven figures.

However, a large percentage of people end up finding more stuff as more money finds them. Why is that? Well, the interesting fact is that this is not true of all societies. Ours is especially susceptible to the dream-not-becoming-reality phenomenon because we are a society of stuff-seekers. We feel as though the more we have, the more we’re worth and the better accepted we are in society.

he more we have, the more we’re worth and the better accepted we are in society.

Wouldn’t it be better, though, to have more and spend the same or, even better, spend less? Wouldn’t it be liberating to know you have a fortune in the bank and no creditors looking for you? Wouldn’t it be exhilarating knowing you can jump on a plane bound for a tropical vacation at any time rather than planning a year in advance simply because you had to purchase that plasma television with HDTV? Wouldn’t your life be changed if your mailbox or inbox never alerted you of a credit card payment due? Wouldn’t THAT be a dream?!
