Trimming expenses while I search, nurse's aide here

I have 4 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a nurse's aide. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. What helped the most?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
