    "You cant make up math and call it wellness". This is why Dave is awesome.
    Even if there are legitimate mental health issues, you cant use those as an excuse for everything that isnt "what I want".
    this whole call she is putting a mental health roadblock in front of everything that isnt "my preference".
    I think with the recent cultural shift in awareness for mental health, (which is a good thing), its given birth to a trend of use "wellness" as the excuse for doing whatever you want and avoiding unpleasant things.

So, 25% of her income (if she working 40 hours per week) would be somewhere around $1,700 per month for rent. I'm not understanding why she can't easily find a better place to live while making $40 an hour. Is she working just part time? Emotionally, she does not sound like she's ready for the next chapter in her life.

      It's troubling when people use mental health as an excuse, because it minimises those with serious problems. Furthermore, it encourages a state of learned helplessness over things that you can and should change. Wellness is not permanent, and some people have no choice but to get on with life, even when they are suffering. I can testify to that after a traumatic year. I have kept on writing, taken steps to get out of debt, and rebuilt my business, all while having serious bouts of depression.

    People getting realllll soft these days. One of the most notable things that you can do to improve your mental well-being is getting rid of stressors in your life that cause anxiety. I.E. paying off debt to get out of financial stressors - because money is the root of the majority of stress that people have in their lives. Additionally, this girl is either too scared or too arrogate to look at herself in the mirror and make adult decisions. Mascaraing your "wellness" and "mental health" as priority number one while you literally sit on the keys to your own decreased anxiety is the epitome of self-centered and irresponsible. It's going to the doctor and getting diagnosed with lung cancer and claiming your chain smoking habit isn't the problem.

      Bear in mind those are Canadian prices, after taxes and payroll deductions her take home is probably ~$55k and food, gas, utilities are pretty expensive here... but you are correct even after all her monthly non-housing expenses she should have close to $3k/mo to work with. $1500 gets you a slum in vancouver and it eats up probably half her available income, but it still leaves her with enough left over to be able to save close to a thousand a month.

      Agreed. I did something similar-not with investments, but I took a look at what assets I had that I could leverage, namely my intellectual properties, and I sold the audiobook rights to some novels I wrote to an audiobook publisher. They gave me a really nice advance, so I used to to pay down a ton of debt, and in the space of three months, I paid off almost all my debt, save for student loans, which I’m hammering down on now. It makes handling all my other bills SO much easier and less stressful just having this one debt left instead of all the other debts I had before.

    $80k a year is doable as a salary in Vancouver, BC. It's hard to save and invest off of $80k, though. High taxes, high CoL, etc. Saving $10k, or even like $6k, in rental costs, would probably go very far in "mental health" facilitation.
