Budget after a layoff: what did you cut first?, welding apprentice here

I have 8 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a welding apprentice. 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.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
