Budget after a layoff: what did you cut first? after 11 years as a retail manager

I have 10 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a retail manager. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. What helped the most?

Ask your utility about hardship programmes. Mine knocked a bit off my bill for several months.

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