life situation
The totality of the external circumstances a person is in at a particular point in time. This includes aspects such as work, finances, living conditions, and social relationships.
Durch den neuen Job hat sich seine finanzielle Lebenssituation deutlich verbessert.
Because of the new job, his financial life situation has improved significantly.
This word is a compound of 'Leben' (life) and 'Situation' (situation), connected by an 's'. So it describes, quite literally, a person's 'life situation'.
Ihre Lebenssituation hat sich nach dem Umzug stark verändert.
Her life situation changed significantly after the move.
The word is almost always specified more precisely by a possessive pronoun (meine, deine, seine) or a genitive to show whose situation is meant.
Meine aktuelle Lebenssituation erlaubt es mir nicht, lange zu verreisen.
My current life situation does not allow me to travel for a long time.
'Lebenssituation' (life situation) is often described with adjectives such as 'schwierig' (difficult), 'kompliziert' (complicated), 'finanziell' (financial), or 'persönlich' (personal). Typical verbs are 'verbessern' (to improve) or 'verändern' (to change).

living condition
Lebensbedingung and Lebenssituation both describe the circumstances in which someone lives. Lebensbedingung mainly refers to the external factors that influence life, while Lebenssituation covers a person’s entire current situation. For a person’s circumstances at a particular point in time, Lebenssituation is therefore the better choice.
Nach dem Umzug hat sich ihre Lebenssituation deutlich verändert.
Her life situation changed significantly after the move.
Sauberes Wasser und sichere Wohnungen sind wichtige Lebensbedingungen für die Menschen dort.
