How to Define and Achieve Your New American Dream

Historically, the American Dream was to simply own your own home. But in this day and age, is getting out of debt the new American Dream? Our consultant takeover continues this week with Meagan Landress and Dan Rooker who unpack that very question. They break down current attitudes—many of which came about as a result of the pandemic—toward purchasing a home, investing, and paying down different kinds of debt. SLP publicist Brittney Lynn makes a guest appearance on the show to discuss how she was able to achieve her own American Dream—paying down $50,000 in debt, leaving the corporate world, and running a location-independent business from a van alongside her husband and two dogs. In today’s episode, you'll find out: Why asking, “If all things were possible, what would I do?” will bring you a big step closer to defining your American Dream How to pay down your three “buckets” of debt and become financially secure Pros to renting a home versus buying a home How you can become financially independent while having a mortgage Why you can reach your American Dream while having student loan payments Like the show?
