To prioritize living expenses over debt repayment

I've been living out of my car at 40 due to financial struggles, including 4 layoffs and high-interest debt.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had prioritized debt repayment and savings during my 20s and 30s."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't let financial struggles define you; seek support and prioritize your well-being."
