You asked your dad what is the American dream and he said generally speaking own a home and have social security Is that true or is there more to this American dream?

Historically, the American Dream is about bettering oneself: the right to "the pursuit of happiness". The belief that the American Dream means living on welfare or social security (living off of someone else's work) began only in the latter part of the 20th century; as did the belief that a right to the pursuit of happiness is the same thing as a "right" to happiness itself.

Will I lose my retirement accounts or payments from social security if I file for bankruptcy?
Generally, no. Retirement accounts that are ERISA-qualified aren't considered property of an estate and cannot be taken. Social Security benefits are generally protected from assignment, or garnishment for debts in bankruptcy. The Social Security Administration's responsibility for protecting benefits against legal process and assignment usually ends when the beneficiary is paid. Once paid, the benefits continue to be protected only as long as they can be identified as Social Security benefits. For example, money in a bank account where the "only" deposits into the account are direct deposits of Social Security benefits are "identifiable" and generally protected.
