A recent survey had people name the top signs you’re living the “modern” American dream. It’s not exactly clear what that MEANS, but they posted a list of the top 30 answers, and some of them aren’t that crazy.
There are a few big ones, like owning a $40,000 car and having at least $35,000 in savings. But here are ten that are a lot more attainable. They’re a nice reminder of how good most Americans have it, even if it doesn’t always feel that way . . .
- Having a Netflix subscription.
- Voting, because it means you’re a U.S. citizen.
- Being able to buy gadgets every now and then, like a new phone.
- Having steak at least once a month.
- Being able to donate old clothes to Goodwill, because you don’t like them anymore.
- Having enough free time to do leisurely stuff, like going on walks or bike rides.
- Shopping at Whole Foods. (???)
- Owning a big-screen TV.
- Having a fridge with an ice dispenser.
- Being able to take a day off work without having to worry about being fired. (SWNS Digital)
