The only version of the "American dream" I've ever heard was getting a small house on a ~1 acre lot and starting a family. I don't know what all this about becoming a millionaire is from.

-- a idk probably 10th generation American living on the East Coast.

"American dream" suggests to me something distinctive that happens in America.

Neither your modest scenario nor becoming a millionaire are specific to the US. And neither can possibly happen for all Americans.

So if that's really what the American dream is defined as, I think it inherently defines the US as a failure.
