As an American I think our mental health, at least among millennials and gen Z is generally in shambles, largely thanks to financial stress.

But I would say the problem is actually that recent generations have been socialized into thinking that the average person can expect any more than that. A blessing Indians and Chinese have is being free of that socialization.
