Simple budget for a tight month - first time posting

We are a household of 11 and the budget no longer works. I am in Tucson, in case local advice matters. I listed needs and wants and cut a few subscriptions.

Check for energy assistance programmes. I got a credit that covered two bills.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
