Sorry, don’t have any links handy, but you should be able to google up trust-fund kids’ issues quite easily. With respect to housewives it’s mostly personal observations aka anecdata. I would be wary of studies on the subject as it is a political minefield and a hard thing to research due to confounders and fuzzy definitions.
The former is very familiar to me in my circles, and if anything they are more happy/fulfilled/productive than the wage reliant, though both extremes exist in both groups.
I am not saying that working for a living is necessarily better, my point is that being financially independent has its own particular failure mode the existence of which should be taken into account.
That’s a very good point and too often neglected. There’s too much betterness in folks’ thoughts, not enough differentness, and the “best” situations fail in different ways than the “worst,” which can succeed spectacularly in their own right.

Yeah, likely to get hit over the latter :).
