Other protected property includes one vehicle up to $7,500 in equity, household goods with no set limit for personal use, clothing up to $4,000, tools of trade up to $10,000, and firearms up to $2,000. Retirement plans that meet federal tax rules are fully exempt. Wages from the 90 days before filing are 75% protected.
