What are the biggest current Obstacles to achievement

Currently, it’s cost about 300k a year to live the American dream. The biggest indicator of your future wealth is not your intellectual capacity, amount of education, work ethic, but wealth of your parents. The ability for you to rise to a higher class in this country is now near the bottom of industrial nationals. The American dream is essentially a myth for vast majority of the country. (Google it)
It’s not what you know, how much, but simply who you know. We have become just like the Country we rebelled against without the titles.
Why do most of you believe we have become this, is this what the people want, to return to lords and dukes, can this be fixed?
What stops most of you from being able to achieve your financial dreams? Access to capital, know right people, being able to afford right schools?

What is your definition of the American dream?

No, it's not.

I think you have a rather strange notion of "the American dream."

All of this sounds like liberal drivel.

So only 1% of Americans are living the American dream according to you.
You are dead wrong with everything you posted. Student loans can be a very, very bad thing, but they also open up education to literally anyone. If you work hard it doesn't matter how much money your parents have you can go to Harvard (usually for free or close to it).
Your post sounds like you are whining becsuae you're lazy.

Biggest Obstacle = Lack of effort.
Give me "intellectual capacity, a good education and a strong work ethic", and just get out of my way.
In terms of $300K being some magic number, $300K is chicken feed if your expenses are $500K, so while you're making a career, keep your expenses in check and put everything back into your business. And I say "your business" because unless you have a professional degree and can work for a firm capable of paying their members $300K, you're going to need to work for yourself. Most businesses and all corporations will never pay their rank and file at this level, so start a business doing something you are good at and have a passion for, and get to work. It's OK to start small. But live conservatively and save your money so you can capitalize on opportunities, and put everything you have back into the work.
The "American Dream" has literally been to start with nothing and make a success of your life. The $/yr number is arbitrary and to a large extent meaningless, unless you define success in someone else's terms.
Go get 'em..!

With a quick google search, I found a site that state, in 2017, the annual cost of living the American dream is $135,000.00

And even that isn't 100% accurate.
$135K annually in Montana is a shitload of money
$135K annually in NYC isn't all that great
Just using some basic figures, the average income in the US is $62K annually and 65% of Americans own their home. That would suggest that the average person bringing home 62K is a homeowner and comfortably within the middle class.

There's a reason why OP hasn't been back to this thread.

bullshite, plain and simple.
That's the main problem, so many Americans believe living the American Dream means being a baller. It doesn't.

$62k isn't really what I'd consider comfortable living

Depends on what you want out of life.
I could do it fairly easily and enjoy the hell out of life.
