Budget after a layoff: what did you cut first? - what worked for you?

We are a household of 10 and need to cut costs quickly. I do not usually post, so bear with me. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. Did any lender work with you?

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

Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $700 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.
