SSD: WD green 120 gb
Power on Time: 908 days
Estimated remaining life span: 278 days
Lifetime writes: 25.45 TB
Its at 55% health. i dont know if I should buy a new one or stick with this one for the meanwhile.
Im using a WD purple 2tb as the storage and the SSD as the boot.
Im low on budget and thinking should I buy a new SSD for both boot and storage, any cheap ssd you guys can recommend?

Personally, 120GB for C: is too small. You have to be too vigilant that you don't fill the drive too much. I would replace it just because of that aspect.
It was a little hard to find the TB written spec for this drive, but one article said 40TB. So your 25TB written is actually pretty close to 50%. It has taken you about 3 years to write 25TB. It should last another 2 before you hit the write endurance. BUT it could fail tomorrow. Write endurance is not a guarantee of non-failure. You should treat this like any other disk. It could fail at ANY time, and you should have an automated backup process to protect yourself.
