Most of us want the American Dream.

But if we are not careful, that dream can turn into a nightmare.

The Status Quo American Dream:

Go to college(Which can lead to debt to up to your eyeballs.)

Get a “Good” job.

Start a Family

Buy a house(More debt)

Retire at 65 and live happily ever after.

One major flaw in this plan is debt. Americans are burying themselves in debt all for the sake of the American Dream.

Thankfully there is a better dream, and some Americans have embraced it.

That dream involves living outside the box. It means living with creativity and risk.

I strongly believe that God has a calling for each of our lives. That calling is your American Dream.

The real American Dream:

Learn and develop a skill/passion.

Use that skill in such a way that your money works for you. Create a passive income.

Make your work evolve around your faith, life and family.

Notice that this plan is very flexible.

We have a choice, live in cubicle city for the rest of our days or chase the dream God has put on our hearts.

Society teaches security is working for corporate America. True security is creating a way for money to work for you.

Live outside the box.
