 Yup.  👍 
Great advice. Solid. Easier said than done. 
The psyop is instilled young.  Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous. 
Read millionaire next door. I’m the guy walking my dog with crocs & a sweatshirt on most days that could buy your house in cash.

 I have a 14yo stepdaughter that's very corrupted by her bio-dad. We're the bad parents for not fulfilling the current desires she gets from seeing internet influencoors. 🙄

 Kids are not for the faint of heart. 
Gotta stick with it. They watch everything & sometimes the lightbulb just goes off & they get it. 
Some don’t or won’t but stick the course.

 Yes. It's like 10 steps forward, then 9 steps back. But it's progress. We're not giving up.
It's a crucial time now (as always), as she's figuring out who she is in this minefield of influence.

 As kids get older they need to feel useful.  Have some purpose. 
My daughter helped me build a new ramp for our shed a few years ago & still talks about it & shows people when over. 
It was such a simple task but it was an accomplishment & people just want to feel useful.
