Life as a Gringo

Gringo’s Guide to the American Dream (And Why It’s a Lie)


Listen Later

We grew up believing in the American Dream—the idea that if you work hard enough, you’ll own a home, build wealth, and create a better life. But for many of us, especially as children of immigrants, that dream feels further out of reach than ever. With skyrocketing housing costs, stagnant wages, and an economy that seems stacked against us, is the American Dream even real? Or is it time to redefine success on our own terms? In this episode, we break down the myths, the realities, and what it means to build a future that actually works for us.
