Accepting new job

[twuoo]

I recently accepted a new job. (yay!)

I used the legalconsumers website and am still under the median for my state.

I'll be working full time, but full time starts at only 30 hours to get full benefits etc. Isn't that awesome!??!

I still won't be filing until Sept/Oct though. I stopped using the cc in May. Do you think in Sept, 5 months since last usage will be long enough? Or should I wait until Oct so it's a full 6 months. I understand there's no gurantee.

Do you think getting the new job with more hours will somehow affect my ch 7 filing status? I'm a 'no asset' case.

Congrats! I think the only way it would affect it is if it put you over the median, I can't think of any other reasons.

Congrats on the new job, Twuoo!!

As far as the income increase,............. I'd give the change a couple of months myself. Allow time to document your new expenses associated with the new job. Travel to and from. Lunches. Clothes you might need to purchase. Changes in daycare costs if applicable. Deductions for new benefits. That sort of thing.

Just because you make more money does not mean you'll see every penny of it in "disposable income".
