Making savings last after losing my job

My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. It has been a long 7 weeks. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. What did you cut first?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
