Budgeting tips when income drops - 17 weeks in

My income is now a fraction of what it was as a recruiter and I am trying to cover the essentials. It has been a long 17 weeks. I listed needs and wants and cut a few subscriptions. Did lenders work with you?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
