    My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. I am in Honolulu, in case local advice matters. I listed every subscription and found several I forgot. What helped the most?

    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.

    Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $100 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.
