Purpose of loan:
I am a graduate student working on a Ph.D. in mathematics.  As such, my schedule over the summer is more free than during the school year, and I have a variety of projects planned.  I want to have some cash available for summer projects (possibly income-generating) or last-minute travel, and believe in the Prosper.com model -- I could put the stuff on my credit card (which currently has no balance), but I would rather not; I would rather my debts be held by people, instead of corporations.

My financial situation:
As you can see, I have excellent credit; I don't miss payments on anything--rent, bills, etc.  I have no debt (except student loans which are in forbearance, meaning I don't have to pay them back until I graduate).  I will have payments auto-deducted from my high-interest savings account, so I won't even have to think about it.  I keep careful track of my financial records and a detailed spending plan, and have a very stable income, so I'm sure that I'll be able to pay back this loan.

My monthly budget*:
Mortgage/rent: $415
Insurance: $150
Car expenses: $100
Utilities: $80
Phone, cable, internet: $50
Food, entertainment: $200
Clothing, household expenses $50
Credit cards and other loan payments: $0
Other expenses: $150
---------------------------------------
Total monthly expenses: $1195

*My wife works; this budget represents approximately half of our shared-expenses.
