How do you handle bills on unemployment? - what worked for you?

I am $950 short each month and trying to find it. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I listed needs and wants and cut a few subscriptions. Did lenders work with you?

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.

Sell things you do not use. I made about $950 from a weekend of listing.
