Simple budget for a tight month after 8 years as an HR coordinator

We are a household of 8 and the budget no longer works. Thank you in advance. I listed needs and wants and cut a few subscriptions. What helped you?

Sell things you do not use. I made about $1100 from a weekend of listing.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
