The income is listed on schedule I and expenses on schedule J. To file chapter 7 there cannot be any disposable income (the difference between the income and expenses) left over. If money is left over, then the court would say, you have money left at the end of the month, so file chapter 13 and pay your creditors that amount. I assume your social security income is low, but since you live with your parent's maybe your expenses are not high. Again, your expenses need to be basically the same of a negative to file chapter 7. Hope that made sense and helped.
