My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. There are 3 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I listed every subscription and found several I forgot. What helped the most?

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

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