Move furhter away from town than where you are, rent a smaller place, get roommates, live at home, wahtever. There are dozens of ways you can avoid spending $1600 a month for a place to live.
You’re admitting without saying it that things have gone really wrong in a way that current older people are mostly protected from due to coming up in better times.
People shouldn’t have to move to the sticks and eat ramen noodles in order to live a decent life with kids and a place to call their own.
I don’t know how much individual young people are to blame for their own problems, because that differs for everyone, but we can’t pretend it’s ALL their fault. That’s just self-serving ignorance.

My parents didn’t even have to do that with 3 kids in under 5 years and my mom staying home to raise us.

Everyone loses, but the younger generations are already so nihilistic and believe they have nothing, therefore they believe they have nothing else to lose.
Rather than constantly telling them to suck it up, we should be acknowledging it and looking to correct the governmental forces which have created the mess.
Nah…it’s easier to tell them to suck it up while it all simply gets worse.
