I have 11 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a web developer. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. 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.

Ask your utility about hardship programmes. Mine knocked a bit off my bill for several months.
