Managing high student loan debt with a new job

I'm struggling with financial anxiety due to high student loan debt and a tight budget

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had a better understanding of my expenses and income before starting my new job"
If I could tell you one thing
"Create a realistic budget and prioritize needs over wants to avoid financial stress"
