    I have 7 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a home health aide. It has been a long 2 weeks. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. Did any lender work with you?

    Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $500 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.

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