Keeping my phone on while I search

I am worried about keeping my phone and internet on during my search. I worked as an operations analyst before this. I heard of low-cost plans for people with limited income. Did you qualify for any programmes?

Ask your internet provider about their low-income plan. They rarely advertise it.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
