> we're burnt out because everything we want is simply too expensive

Perhaps the problem starts with the fact that we continue to steer society in the direction where everything we want costs money.

I think this is the only comment that captures the message of the article. I feel for everyone who is priced out of life, those are very serious problems, but it wasn't what the article is talking about.

If I was seeing lots of comments say something like "The cost of life is preventing me from pursuing my dreams" then the article would be relevant to that.
