Installed High Sierra due to my MBP having an Intel processor, for Spectre and Meltdown.
I read others and did a SMC/PRAM reset as well as deleting library cache and restarting.
Below is my EtreCheck report.
I understand that most likely I need a new HDD or SSD but I cannot afford it at the moment wondering if there is anything else I can do.
Thank you for everyone's time in reading/replying.

Failing hard drive - This machine has an older, mechanical hard disk that appears to be failing.
Your drive is failing. Full stop
I trust you have a backup plan in place. The report says no Time Machine.

Yes I do have a backup on an external drive.
Thank you for your reply and time.
