Trimming expenses while I search after 16 years as a janitorial supervisor

I have 13 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a janitorial supervisor. This is my first time dealing with any of this. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. What did you cut first?

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.
