Near the end of the first act in “American Dreamer,” New England economics professor Dr. Phil Loder (Peter Dinklage) is having drinks with three of his students when he shares with them his two pillars of happiness. The first, home ownership, is neither exclusive nor revelatory. Owning a home provides a certain level of financial and emotional security; it’s a marker of sorts that reinforces one is on the right path.
