I have 14 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as an operations analyst. I am in Austin, in case local advice matters. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. What helped the most?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

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