Left uncle's business to build own

I created a financial disaster by taking loans and accumulating debt. I was trapped in high-interest weekly loans and felt constant anxiety and fear about the next payment.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had thought more carefully about the risks of leaving my uncle's business and the consequences of taking loans."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't be afraid to ask for help and don't take on more debt than you can handle."
