The Cost of the American Dream is $_______.

This should be an astonishing wake-up call for all network marketers.  According to the statisticians at USA Today, it now takes over $130,000 per year for an average family in America today to be able to afford "the essentials" of the so-called "American Dream."  You might also be surprised to discover the 2 things that Americans want more than anything else.  Are you offering these 2 things when you speak with your prospects about Nu Skin?

Can you afford the 'American Dream?' Study shows the ideal lifestyle costs $130,357 per year

A new analysis shows that only 1 in 8 families could afford the cost of living what's commonly known as the American Dream in 2014. 

Inspired by the new book 'Chasing the American Dream,' about the cost of the financial crisis, housing bubble, and Great Recession, reporters at USA Today calculated the cost of all those elements that make up the American Dream. 
For the project they included the costs of home ownership, moderate-cost groceries, a car, health insurance, taxes, educational expenses for your children, and retirement planning.

They reached an average total of $130,357 per year in household income. In a country where the median household income is roughly $51,000, that's a dream well out of reach for most people. In fact only 16 million households in America earned that much last year.
