The American Dream is the polar opposite of relying multiple generations to achieve stability. The general interpretation of the American Dream is the notion that any one person can achieve success by working hard enough.

"Success" is subjective; for many it is providing opportunity for your kids you didn't have, e.g. first generation college.

Plus you don't work in a vacuum by yourself; mutual success is more likely if you have close relationships with friends and family.
