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

    My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I listed every subscription and found several I forgot. What did you cut first?

    Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $1000 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.

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