Simple budget for a tight month - first time posting

My income is now a fraction of what it was as a customer-service rep and I am trying to cover the essentials. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I listed needs and wants and cut a few subscriptions.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

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