    My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. Any experience at all would help. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. What helped the most?

    A simple budget with three columns, fixed, flexible and optional, made decisions faster.

    Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $600 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.
