Managing your bankruptcy expenses involves creating and maintaining a budget that allows you to make your monthly bankruptcy payments while covering other necessary living expenses. I suggest you read Managing the expenses of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. This may include cutting unnecessary expenses, such as entertainment or dining out, and finding ways to save on everyday expenses, such as buying discounted groceries from stores or negotiating lower rates on your bills. It can also be helpful to find additional sources of income, such as taking a part-time job or selling unused items.
