Reneging internship offer due to high rent cost

I'm worried about my future career prospects if I reneged on the internship offer due to financial constraints.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew the true cost of living in the area before accepting the internship."
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest about your financial situation and don't be afraid to negotiate or decline offers that don't work for you."
