Everyone has their version of the American Dream ๐ŸŒŸ. A recent Bankrate survey reveals that for many, owning a home ๐Ÿ  still tops the list as the ultimate American Dream (see graph below).
 

Interestingly, the graph indicates that for most people, owning a home outranks retiring, having a successful career, or earning a college degree ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ“ˆ. But what about younger generations like Gen Z and millennials? Are they still keen on homeownership?
