My income is now a fraction of what it was as a teaching assistant and I am trying to cover the essentials. It has been a long 7 weeks. I listed needs and wants and cut a few subscriptions. What helped you?

I called each lender and asked for a hardship plan. Two agreed to lower payments for a few months.
