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

I have 5 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a paralegal. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. What did you cut first?

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

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