    My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. What did you cut first?

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

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