How can I reduce costs on a limited pension?


I’m not financially able to live on my $2,000 per month pension. My rent is $1,375 per month, and I have a $68 storage unit cost, plus my phone bill is $60 per month. I’m left with little money for food and other necessities like laundry and cleaning materials. I would appreciate it if you can help me with whatever you can.
