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

My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. I listed every subscription and found several I forgot. What did you cut first?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
