The Evolution of the American Dream
A $100,000 annual income, once considered a ticket to success, now falls short of providing a secure future for many families. The high cost of living and stagnant wages have eroded the purchasing power of this income level.
Challenges in Achieving Financial Stability
- Rising Costs: Housing, education, and healthcare expenses continue to outpace income growth.
- Income Disparity: Discrepancies in wages make it harder for middle-class families to make ends meet.
