Budgeting tips when income drops - 3 months and counting

Nia Osei · 2026-05-11T23:56:23.564Z

My income is now a fraction of what it was as a teaching assistant and I am trying to cover the essentials. There are 13 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The rent is fixed and the car payment is high.

Check for energy assistance programmes. I got a credit that covered two bills.

Sell things you do not use. I made about $1050 from a weekend of listing.
