..and he said something that surprised me! He said that even with a 6-month lookback that was above the median we wouldn't have any trouble filing chapter 7, especially if DH included a letter from his employer stating that overtime was not likely to recur at those levels. I guess that's where the means test and the look-forward of the schedules come in?

With a likely August filing it won't really matter (we'll be below the median by then-over by about $2000 right now) but it's good to know nonetheless.

It's all about your expenses, I was over the median and was discharged last year in a ch 7.
