    I have 10 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a call-centre agent. It has been weighing on me all week. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. What did you cut first?

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

    A simple budget with three columns, fixed, flexible and optional, made decisions faster.
