Haven't played in a long time - some equipment questions

Hello. I have not played tennis since 2003. I grew up a tennis brat and played at a pretty high level and simply burned out, but now I have the itch to join a local league. I'm 37 and in pretty decent shape. I'm completely lost on what new sticks and string to purchase.

I used to play a head light racquet. The last one I used was a Prince Graphite 2. I would string it tighter than recommended, like 66 lbs.

I've heard no one strings racquets that tight anymore. Is that true?

I used to have a stringer and would routinely break a set of strings every 3 days or so. However, I can't afford 3 new racquets. How long to strings last these days?

Any recommendations on more modern racquets and strings for me?
