Struggling with debt and credit

I'm drowning in debt and rent, with 34k owed to a friend and 43k on my car loan, plus other unknown debts.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had a better plan for managing my finances and paying off debt before seeking a VA home loan."
If I could tell you one thing
"Create a budget and prioritize debt repayment to achieve financial stability and homeownership."
