The reason "fighting the monster" seems to solve their "normal problems" too is because the magic is a metaphor. The characters are given superpowers, have secret identities, and fight evil. But at the end of the day, the real lesson of the abilities in Sailor Moon (as with most anime and, really, youth-oriented tales in general) is that real strength comes from within.
The characters are facing "demons" in their regular lives, and the fighting with the magical monsters is just a metaphor for that. (Obviously, I'm talking about from an analytical viewpoint - in the show, they're really transforming and really fighting, but the reason the creators made a show that focuses on this sort of thing is to be a metaphor.)
Almost all of Japanese anime is an analogy for adolescence and growing up, and Sailor Moon is one of the series that really set the tone for that in the '90s.
