The American Dream, Debt Cycle

First they told us to borrow money & pay interest for a house

We believed them, after all you need a place to lay your head & it might
appreciate

Then they said it’s okay to borrow for school

We said okay.. we need an education to get a good job

Then they said it’s okay to borrow money (pay interest) for a car

We said okay, we need reliable transportation to get to work so we can pay for our house

Then they said it’s okay to borrow money for a credit card

We believed them, after all, you can increase your credit score

With a lower credit score, you can borrow money at a better rate

(Borrow money so you can prove that you’re good at borrowing money so you can borrow more money, sounds dumb to me)

From the outside looking in, you have everything you figured out

You are college education, a nice career field, a nice car, credit card rewards

But on the inside you’re getting up everyday to bust your ass just to pay bills

Wake up, work, pay bills, watch t.v, repeat

The America dream is a debt cycle

Most people can’t afford a $5,000 emergency right now

What if you had a great investment opportunity to start building wealth but you need 10k

You’re so busy paying interest and bills that you never get ahead

Paycheck to paycheck America
