Making savings last after losing my job after 8 years as an insurance claims processor

I have 9 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as an insurance claims processor. I am in Austin, in case local advice matters. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. 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.
