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 worked as an accountant before this. I listed every subscription and found several I forgot. Did any lender work with you?

    Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $550 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
