    My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. It has been weighing on me all week. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. What helped the most?

    Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $850 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.

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