round it off. it will continue to go up anyways due to fees, etc... I would just round it off to the nearest dollar.

I also rounded to the nearest dollar. So 398.74 would be 399 etc.
Good luck from a fellow pro se filer!

I put exact amounts... it just seemed to me that putting rounded numbers looked like I didn't know my actual amounts. I did know them and I didn't want it to look like I just threw down a number.

Sorry but I don't know EXACTLY how much I spend on food, clothing etc every month. Car insurance, etc sure. For most things, round to the nearest whatever you want. Let the trustee decide if it is too high.

I estimated those things, obviously, but your credit card bills and phone bills, etc... those are what I put exact amounts for.

I would put the exact number on the one's you know to be exact and estimate the others. That way if you are asked to prove anything you can at least show match up some things. You aren't expected to have everything perfect, but if you know something to be exact then why now put it as you know it to be?? Make sense? It's ok to estimate or round out if you need to, but don't do it you know the exact number.
