Budget after a layoff: what did you cut first? (update)

    I have 9 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a call-centre agent. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. What helped the most?

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

    Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $800 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.
