“Renting vs buying after divorce”

I'm stuck in a high rent situation with a toddler, unable to afford a house.

What I wish I knew
"I should have prioritized saving for a down payment during my marriage."
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider alternative housing options or saving strategies before making a decision."
