Simple budget for a tight month after 5 years as a production planner

My income is now a fraction of what it was as a production planner and I am trying to cover the essentials. There are 5 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?

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