Abstract
HOMEOWNERSHIP HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN a major goal for Americans seeking financial prosperity and success. It is considered to be the lynchpin of the lifelong pursuit of the “American Dream.” People grow up with cliché visions of having a young, happy family living in a home with a recently paid off mortgage and a white picket fence. Fully paying off a mortgage can be one of the happiest and most rewarding moments of one’s life. However, Mechele Dickerson emphasizes that perhaps the pursuit of homeownership is not always sound advice for a large portion of the population.
