The American Dream

Everybody dreams of something, whether it is to one day become financially independent, buy their very first house, become their own boss, or start a family. That's why one of the most prominent, well-known, and revolutionary catchphrases of the United States, for close to 90 years, has been the idea of living the "American Dream."

While the phrase has grown and expanded to mean many different things to many different people, its rise to popularity started in 1931, when famed historian and writer James Truslow Adams wrote in his book The Epic of America about "the American dream, that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to his ability or achievement." Read on for a closer look at the American Dream through the years.

1930s

In the 1930s, the American Dream was simple and didn't involve waiting in long lines to score the newest iPhone on the day it came out or being able to get the latest credit card with a slew of perks. Adams even clarified to say that "it is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of a social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position." Check out these fascinating facts about America that you never learned in school.

Owning a home has long been a big part of the American Dream. Despite this, the proportion of adults who own their homes has been on the decline.

Homeownership rates have been dropping since the middle of the past decade. Rental vacancies spiked during the Great and have plummeted since, indicating a shift from owning homes to renting apartments.

Nordea Markets economist Aurelija Augulyte tweeted out this chart comparing US homeownership rates with rental vacancies:

@auaurelija
There are a few big reasons that this shift has taken place.

In a blog post last year, Trulia chief economist Jed Kolko pointed out that the demographics of millennials were different from those of earlier generations: Millennials are less likely to be married or to have children in their 20s than the 20-somethings of the 1980s and 1990s.

Historically, homeownership has been correlated with marriage and children.

Kolko also observed that after the housing bubble burst, homeownership was sharply down among middle-aged adults. Adults who were in their late 20s or early 30s during the bubble bought overly expensive houses, and many lost those houses after prices collapsed and during the Great Recession.

The Federal Reserve has worked aggressively to stimulate the housing market by keeping mortgage rates low. But we have yet to see a turn in ownership rates.
