You are a deadbeat and should just do us all a favor and kill yourself now.
I am tired of carrying you.

According to the new law, you can not file for a chapter 7 for 8 years after a previous chapter 7.
The other responders are incorrect. Can't do their research I guess.

If I remember correctly, I think the waiting period between Chapter 7's is still 6 years.
However, this time you will have to go thru a 'means' test, and if you make more than the states median income you will be forced into Chapter 13 instead of Chapter 7. Oh, and you will have to go through Credit Counseling... at your expense... before the case will be discharged.
Good luck.

6 years from the date you previously FILED not when it was DISCHARGED.
