Behind on bills?

A tight month is a cash problem with an order, not a character flaw. List what is due, keep food money aside, and get a plan for what to pay and what to say when you call.

In the Federal Reserve’s 2025 Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking, fielded in October 2025, 63% of adults said they would cover a $400 emergency with cash or its equivalent. That leaves 37% who would not. Federal Reserve SHED, May 2026. If that is you this month, you are in a large group.

Why the order is what it is

Food and basics stay in your pocket. A paid-off card does not buy groceries.
Housing and utilities next. A shutoff or an eviction is harder to undo than a late fee.
The car, if it gets you to work, is both transportation and a secured loan.
Unsecured debts come after that: student loans, buy-now-pay-later, credit cards, payday loans, then medical bills, which are often negotiable.
