Re: How much is considered "expendable income"?

It depends on which chapter your are filing. For a chapter 7 having
nothing left over is a good idea, but if you are filing a chapter
13, you need to be able to afford a payment to the trustee to be
applied to arrearages on mortgages, car loans, taxes, student loans,
and a percentage of unsecured debt.
