Trimming expenses while I search after 10 years as a social media manager

I have 10 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a social media manager. There are 10 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. Did any lender work with you?

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.
