Trimming expenses while I search, bank teller here

I have 8 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a bank teller. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Rent and the car are the biggest costs. What did you cut first?

Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $200 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.

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