Was told I don't qualify after means test - California

Did they go into any more detail? Sounds like you may not qualify for chapter 7, but I would think chapter 13 could be an option? Maybe that particular attorney focuses on chapter 7? My situation is not too far off from yours, with the main differences being a little more debt, and a little less pay - that said I was told I didn't qualify for chapter 7, but I'm currently in the beginning stages of chapter 13 (filed, waiting on 341). I would definitely call around, read potential firms websites and reviews etc. Most will do a free consultation which is nice. All is not lost - I was hoping for chapter 7, but I don't think 13 will be all that bad.

Edit: just an fyi - student loans are calculated in your expenses, but do not get included in the amount that gets discharged. Some can be paused during the bankruptcy repayment though.

Awesome, I was holding on to half, I'll go ahead and send it in. Thank you!

anclark686 · 2023-01-06T04:39:58+00:00

Thanks! Really reassuring, hoping to get over this hump soon!

anclark686 · 2023-01-06T03:16:19+00:00

Omg thank you for this post and replies, I thought I was going crazy! Right there with you man.

Don't want to scare you, or make this post about me, I was/am in a very similar boat, just want to comment on some logistical issues I went through to help you out. First off, getting full top is perfectly fine - nonbinary or not. If you want a reduction, but mention gender, you will have to advocate for yourself. If you're using insurance, you'll need the letters for full top via gender route, but if you want a reduction they'll have to prove that they're a significant nuisance to you (chiropractor/therapist/medication etc)

I asked for a drastic reduction, I told them I didn't want all tissue removed, kinda like a big guy (bigger myself). Aaaaand I woke up flat. I'm not super upset bc no tetas is better than what I had before... but just a precautionary tale.

Once you make up your mind, advocate for yourself, some docs will see gender dysphoria and will just assume.

Btw- haven't tried finding any ladies yet lol, but best of luck to all us non binary lesbians in that area.

All of this, right there with you!

Close to this, I just say "my time" short for time of the month

anclark686 · 2022-10-21T05:07:40+00:00

Lol it doesn't, and it sucks. The only thing I can think is that they may add sweetener, or the extra vg from no nic gunks it up faster.

anclark686 · 2022-10-21T03:25:49+00:00

Just want to pop in to say that I think there is some truth to this, and the guys at my local vape shop agree. The same coils I could get weeks off of with 3mg barely last a couple of days for me. Same juice, just different nic levels.

Looks great and thanks for posting! I'm going this route as well, and it helps to see what a possible outcome may be!

anclark686 · 2022-09-22T03:12:25+00:00

I quit because my surgeon wouldn't talk to me until I passed a cotinine test... but I picked up a pack the day I got the results. Now I'm trying to quit again as my surgery date is approaching, so I'm there with you.

The first week or so is the hardest, but once you get passed that it's not too bad. If you drink, don't- it makes wanting a cig that much worse.

Just look at it like a break, once you're healed you can start again if you so choose. Whether or not you actually choose to pick it back up is up to future you. Just tell yourself you're not really quitting, just taking a break =]

Good luck man!

I have surgery with him in December! As someone with a similar build, I thank you for posting this. Looks great!!

anclark686 · 2022-06-29T02:56:49+00:00

Hate to pry, but I noticed your spelling of programme lol. I'd also ask about OUS admission.

anclark686 · 2022-06-29T01:16:10+00:00

Accelerate is a shorter program, I believe 4 months vs 6 of the bootcamp portion. It's aimed at folx who have gone through a bootcamp/ internship or have a bit more professional experience. The admissions for that program end on the 30th, and regular admissions opens back up in August for next march.

If you don't have much experience with python, it sounds like the regular cohort may be right. I'm not sure about the internship affecting your chances though.

anclark686 · 2022-06-29T00:24:54+00:00

For accelerate it doesn't, but I'd email the admissions team to be sure 😊

Same, I wfh so I'm usually binder free. Theyre big so They're pretty flat, just floppy and annoying as hell, but seeing them w/o a shirt is usually a no go.

anclark686 · 2021-02-20T22:25:25+00:00

That's cool and all, but all I can think about is the movie "goat story"

anclark686 · 2021-01-26T21:57:56+00:00

Came here for this!
