Everyone at OWS should quit whining and read this book.
"Imagine being a high school English teacher who saves and invests his way to being a millionaire by age 40.
Impossible! Can’t be done! Or, if it can, he must have some weird magic system for miraculous returns, a system that worked for him but won’t work for anyone else.
Wrong. It can be done. It was done. His method is simplicity itself, and anyone can do it.
The teacher is real; his name is Andrew Hallam. He teaches at a high school in Singapore and has written a book to tell us about it: The Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned in School (John Wiley & Sons, $17)."

but being "a millionaire" ain't what it used to be.
get back to me when you find a billionaire teacher.
So now the American dream is a fraud unless everyone can be a billionaire? Grow up. The first million is the hardest. By 50 this teacher could easily have 3 million. Not enough for you?

Saving everything you make and investing it is easy to do when you are an American teaching in a foreign country. You get healthy stipends to pay for your housing and bills. Your salary is then all yours to invest.
This story doesn't pass the real life test, unless you want all of our teachers to outsource themselves.

Believe it or not there are many who still have aspiratons of success. I'm fairly certian that the American Dream isn't limited to those living in America, and is only dead to those who never had it to begin with. You contridicted yourself by saying "grow up" and that millions are "peanuts" in the same breath.
All I want for Christmas is a big bag of peanuts. The dream is still alive.

People who use the phrase "American dream" are naive and need to be slapped in the face repeatedly.

There are millions of households with $1 million in net worth.
$1 million won't even buy you a beach house where I live. It is not "rich" or even close to it.
You can do what you're "supposed" to do, follow the herd, and save $1 million by the time you're ready to retire. Big deal.
