Budget after a layoff: what did you cut first?, janitorial supervisor here

We are a household of 18 and need to cut costs quickly. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Rent and the car are the biggest costs.

Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $600 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.
