Trimming expenses while I search, project coordinator here

I have 5 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a project coordinator. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. What did you cut first?

Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $600 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.

Ask your utility about hardship programmes. Mine knocked a bit off my bill for several months.
