Budgeting tips when income drops - what worked for you?

    My income is now a fraction of what it was as an IT help-desk technician and I am trying to cover the essentials. There are 14 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The rent is fixed and the car payment is high. Did lenders work with you?

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

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