    My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. There are 6 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. What did you cut first?

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

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