The American Dream has over time had a meaning of a secure job, a suburban house, and a consistent increase in finances. It was constructed with the assurance that diligent effort would ensure upward mobility. However, in the modern times, a good number of Americans are secretly revisiting that definition. The emerging new discussion has been triggered by increased living standards, altered work cultures, and altered individual values.

This is not a cultural change of giving up but rather a redefinition of success.
