My car needs the following done to it (what order should I get them fixed in?)

I am in a money crunch, so assuming that my oil leaks aren't a critical problem as discussed in another thread, I need to get the following work done and I can't afford it all at once. I would like suggestions for what I should get done soon and what can wait.

1. LF control arm bushings. Sway arm bushing. (maybe the whole control arm as it depends who I talk to.)
2. Cracked exhaust flex pipe.
3. LR strut.
4. All four rotors.

Thanks to those who help me out.
 
I would do this:

1 - Rotors
2 - Contol arm
3 - strut
4 - exhaust


If you are due for an inspection soon, I would get the exhaust done more quickly.

Same.

Brakes are important.
 
How bad are the rotors?
How bad is the flex pipe cracked?
How bad is the strut? (push down on the car on this corner and count the number of bounces. More than 1 or 2 and it needs to be replaced).
Is it the control arm bushing or control arm? A cracked control arm could lead to very bad things, while a worn out bushing will cause noise and less handling capability.

Answer those and i'll put them in order 😛
