If you want me to answer openly an honestly, I will tell you that you are not helping them.

One of my brothers had to learn financial responsibility the hard way. When he first left home and shared an apartment with roommates, he'd get money from his roommates for paying bills, spend it and his paychecks on tools and toys, and then be short on cash when rent or bills came due. He'd borrow a few hundred from Dad or one of my other brothers to get the bills and rent paid, and repeat the cycle. Sometimes he'd sell one of his new toys to the other brother to get money for rent, then buy it back at the next paycheck. Eventually, Dad stopped loaning him money, telling him he needed to figure it out on his own, and my other brother refused to sell stuff back to him. Once his safety net and back-up plan were removed, he learned to take care of bills first.

People on this forum are exceptions—most people don't change or learn how to live more effectively until they feel they have no other choice. When the pain of their current situation becomes greater than their fear of change (or laziness, limiting beliefs, etc), then they become willing to do something different. Right now, you and your apartment are their other choice, and the pain of their current situation is not likely to be strong enough to motivate change.

The best thing you can do to help them is to continue with your own success: make money, save money, learn, grow thrive, enjoy yourself. You show them what's possible and a path for accomplishing it.
