Making savings last after losing my job (Tampa)

I have 10 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as an insurance claims processor. I have been trying to stay organised about it. 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.

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