Budget after a layoff: what did you cut first?

    My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. There are 15 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. What helped the most?

    I called the landlord and the card company early. Both offered a short payment plan, which I did not expect.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
