Sorry, but except for the cash required for your immediate living expenses – and by that I mean this month’s rent, groceries, etc. – you are not allowed to retain excess cash or savings if you file for bankrutpcy.

Look at it from your creditor’s perspective – you owe them money so you don’t really have any of your own cash in the bank. It’s the creditors’ cash (assuming you owe more than you have in the bank).
