I created a custom brush in PS 2021. I want to also use it in PS Elements. Where is the abr file stored?

Select the Brush in the Brushes Panel and »Export Selected Brushes« from the Panel’s fly-out-menu (top right).

Nowhere unless you save it. Save file with .abr extension anywhere you want or save in offered default location and remember path.

    »Where is the abr file stored?«

    Unsaved custom brushes get stored in Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings/Brushes.psp, but that is academic in this context. 

    As @Bojan Živković11378569 already stated you need to save the abr-file, the default location would be Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Presets/Brushes but you can save to another location. 

    (The locations refer to Macintosh, you can look them up for Windows if you need to.)
