Trimming expenses while I search - what worked for you?

My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. It has been weighing on me all week. I am nervous about the credit card minimums.

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

I called the landlord and the card company early. Both offered a short payment plan, which I did not expect.
