    My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. What did you cut first?

    I called the landlord and the card company early. Both offered a short payment plan, which I did not expect.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
