Is the American Dream still alive or is it just an elaborate scam designed to keep us productive?
In this video I’m asking four multi-millionaires who started from rock-bottom if they think they could do it again, and what playbook they would follow.

    Here’s a life changing moment: I was a young, newly married man helping out at a church garage sale the week of Christmas. Everything being sold were literally throw-away donations. A man brought his wife and two children in and told them to pick out what they wanted for Christmas. The kids went through the entire sea of “other peoples trash” with an indescribable amount of excitement. A year later I was in a third world country parked next to a set of condemned buildings that were full of people and considered their “projects”. The towns dumped all their trash at this location and, as soon as the truck left, dozens of small children, mostly nude without any clothes, would run into the piles to scavenge anything they could find before running back inside. This was all 20 years ago and I still think about these experiences daily.

    As a European, I can confirm that starting a business in America is MUCH, MUCH easier than having it in Europe. You have to deal with local IRS, various VAT rates across Europe, a ton of bureaucracy. On top of that, having a successful startup is very tough, as the business climate is very "mature" and UNWILLING to accept new trends. Also, EU imposes a ton of regulations, so it becomes a nightmare to do something differently than the others, which basically negates EVERYTHING the startup culture is all about - making something in a better way.

    As an American I was under the impression that the "American Dream" was all an American citizen needed was a High school education to land a decent job and be able to work their way up the company/corporate ladder. With this income, they could afford a brand new $125k- 200k home and have a family on a single income. Retiring at the age of 62 with a good retirement/pension that is supplemented by social security. Now it's nearly mandatory that American citizens need at least a 4-year degree to get a non dead-end job, play the stock market, earn passive income, and have a dual income household just achieve this American Dream.
