How do you handle bills on unemployment? - first time posting

My income is now a fraction of what it was as a security officer and I am trying to cover the essentials. Thank you in advance. The rent is fixed and the car payment is high. What helped you?

A paper list of bills by due date helped me more than an app. I could see the month at a glance.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
