Budgeting tips when income drops after 16 years as an IT help-desk technician

I am $900 short each month and trying to find it. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I listed needs and wants and cut a few subscriptions. What helped 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.
