Making savings last after losing my job - 16 weeks in

My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. I do not usually post, so bear with me. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. What helped the most?

I called the landlord and the card company early. Both offered a short payment plan, which I did not expect.

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.
