The Ashland is between New York and the west egg and in Ashland they are just a bit more wealthy and modern than the surrounding cities. Gatsby might want everyone else to believe that he is rich and doesn't want the others to know about his past. The reason that Gatsby had the big fancy house and befriended nick was because he wanted to become closer to Daisy. There is economic pressure from the others. The american dream is represented by the “new money” and they worked for their money and the “old money” got it handed to them and they do not appreciate the struggle to earn money and that the two groups have a very different work ethic. The old money do know how to invest their money and are good with their money even though they are snobs and less grateful that worked hard for their money. The american dream can be whatever you believe it to be, if you work hard to get to a good place that makes you happy. The American dream doesn't have to do with how much money you make, it has to do with how happy you are and how happy your job makes you.
