The American Dream is evolving. Join the Independent Center as we redefine what it means to succeed in today’s world and ensure a brighter future for generations to come.
Join the Movement Today
The American Dream has long been a cornerstone of our national identity—a vision of success, prosperity, and opportunity for all. For generations, Americans have aspired to achieve this dream: owning a home, securing a quality education, landing a well-paying job, and enjoying a comfortable retirement. But in today's evolving landscape, what does the American Dream look like? And more importantly, is it still within reach?
In a rapidly changing world, many feel the American Dream slipping out of reach. Rising costs of living—from groceries to housing—have placed immense pressure on households. Traditional career paths offering stability and pensions are now the exception, not the norm. At the same time, shifting family dynamics, such as delayed marriage and parenthood, have redefined what it means to thrive.
Our exclusive research reveals a stark reality:

The results reveal that while the American Dream has changed, it remains a powerful motivator. The Independent Center is committed to amplifying these voices and fostering a nationwide conversation about what’s next.
