Taking on debt to improve quality of life and access to healthcare

I'm taking on $10k in debt to move to a better job and be near family, but I'm worried about the financial burden and potential consequences

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had saved more money before making this decision"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious of taking on debt, even if it seems like a good opportunity, and consider all the potential risks and consequences"
