Simple budget for a tight month - 12 months and counting

We are a household of 14 and the budget no longer works. It has been a long 2 weeks. The rent is fixed and the car payment is high.

Sell things you do not use. I made about $1150 from a weekend of listing.

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