Making savings last after losing my job (update)

I have 9 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as an accounts payable clerk. Thank you in advance. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. What helped the most?

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

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