Not snuffed out...yet:

Quote:
More than half (57 percent) of current homeowners said owning a home is among the best long-term investments they could make, ahead of putting money in a 401K or other retirement accounts (52 percent). Among 80 percent of homeowners who said they plan to buy another home in the future, 69 percent were ages 55 years old or older. Even among 18- to 34-year-olds, who have the lowest homeownership rates in the country, a majority of respondents said their American dream includes owning a home.

Like that July 4th seasonal below.

Can-do spirit blossoms in a land of the entreprenuer:

http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/11_27/b4235068745806.htm

Quote:
Market America is the latest and most sophisticated incarnation of multilevel marketing (MLM), that controversial business model that exploits the get-rich-quick dreams of every red-blooded American. The basic idea is that every member of Market America pays a fee for the right to sell an exclusive product—vitamins, makeup, potent herbal tonics, kitchenware—and then recruits other distributors who also buy the product and pay a commission upward. Each distributor finds new distributors, and so on, so that money flows upward in a pyramid shape, from many to fewer to, eventually, just one person—Ridinger—at the top.
