My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. There are 3 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I listed every subscription and found several I forgot. What did you cut first?

Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $1050 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.

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