Live in luxury via your wealthy employer: The new American Dream

Has the credit crisis got you down? Have you lost (or are you close to losing) your house? Have your dreams of living the rich lifestyle the popular media told you is within your reach if you work hard replaced by debt re-payment nightmares? Are you buried in debt so much that not even a lottery win can’t help you? Well, don’t fret because a life of luxury is still within your reach; in fact, it is much closer and easier to achieve than ever.

CNN published an article today outlining how easily the American Dream can still be achieve even though the country’s economy is in its worst state in years with no visible light at the end of the tunnel. The article titled “Live in luxury by pampering the rich” clearly explains how you can live in luxury without having to actually be rich. As the article explains, all you need to do is go to school and be trained as a servant to the wealthy; graduating a butler seems to be the profession most likely to help you achieve quickly a life of luxury. The basic premise is that many more people are becoming rich worldwide (except for you and me) on a daily basis and these people are lazy; they won’t cook or clean after themselves. If they did, wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of being rich in the first place?

So, these rich people need servants to do all the work for them. This is where you, the hopeless person buried in debt, comes in. After you pony up $10,000 to $19,000 for a 2-month course, you can find a job serving the rich. Other than allegedly getting paid well once you do find a position (most of which money you will have to spend paying off your old debt plus the new one that you had to take in order to pay your tuition fees,) you will live a life of luxury through your wealthy employer. Here is a quote from the original article (text in bold added by me)

Kurt Houck, 34, enjoys maintaining and driving his Arizona- and Minnesota-based employer’s fleet of Mercedes and working on the private jet during flights.

Mick Locke, another Professional Domestic Services and Institute graduate, serves the household of a Boston financier. For him, part of the draw of the job is being surrounded by authentic works of art, antique pieces of furniture and museum-quality artifacts — not to mention tasting expensive wines, trying exotic foods and flying on a private jet. “As you advance in length of service,” Locke says, “you can find yourself able to live vicariously through your employer.”

Yep, that’s it folks. The wealthy elite screwed you over once more for no other reason than to make you their own servants. Whereas before you had some hope of striking it rich by working hard, now you just have to learn how to serve the rich so that you can live the American Dream vicariously through them. It’s great to be the King, ain’t it?
