I have 1250 in my checking account that is my rent money for October. Can I pay my rent and utilities with that money?

Of course! I'm sure you don't want an eviction on top of your bankruptcy, right? That money is included in the form where you show your monthly expenses.

Are there some things you are NOT supposed to spend money on after filing?
I thought you could spend whatever money you have, for whatever you want...
No?
