If it were my kids I would:
1 start by making them pay affordable but not cheap rent. They then at least have to get some job or find somewhere where they will pay even more rent
2 get them out of any counselors or into an actual good psychologist who doesn’t do bullshit and give them the mental health outs.
3 show them that it’s completely possible to live a successful life without high stress. Money isn’t worth everything. Smaller house, cheaper area if you are in an expensive big city, smaller expenses, a job that is part remote, etc.
4 make them serve others. Happiness comes from within and serving people is one of the best ways to spark that. Hey Jenny if you want to stay rent free you need to volunteer at the soup kitchen 1 hour a day and see what it’s like to really struggle. Something like that.
I’m in Alabama and you can still have a good job and live a great life without insane taxes or commutes.
Also one of my favorite life lessons is CHOOSE YOUR HARD. It’s hard to be poor it’s hard to be rich - I’d rather have problems with money than without.
It’s hard to be married it’s hard to be single but at least married you have company and share your struggles. But to each their own.
