Budget after a layoff: what did you cut first? after 10 years as a call-centre agent

I have 7 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a call-centre agent. It has been a long 11 weeks. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. Did any lender work with you?

Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $250 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.

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