My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. Any experience at all would help. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. 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 $450 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.
