    My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. Did any lender work with you?

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

    Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $1200 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.
