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?

Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $150 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.

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