I don't think it's the same for everyone. I would say the stereotype would include ones health, home ownership, family, annual vacations as well as a job to finance those things. For me the American dream includes the stereotype as well as owning a house on a couple acres that has a garage/work shop for projects. Some hunting land close to home and an out of state hunting trip every other year for big game. It took 50 years but I can finally say I'm living the dream!
