Purpose of loan:
I'm helping my daughter go back to college after 4 years out of school. She's planning to complete a bachelor's degree with a double major in Business and in Wilderness Leadership and Experiential Education. She spent a lot of time during childhood and adolescence in the outdoors, participating in a variety of recreation activities: horseback riding, sailing, canoeing, etc. She served as co-sports director for a church mission trip in high school and then spent some time in college and at work in retail sales. She has spent the last 2 1/2 years in coastal North Carolina doing both retail work and some outdoor work--surfing, parasailing, kayaking, and camping. She has received a lot of financial aid, but we still need to come up with $10,000 for the 2007-2008 academic year. My daughter plans to work some while attending school; her eventual goal is to own a specialty retail shop (outdoors) in a resort/vacation area.

My financial situation:
I have worked for my employer for 29 years and have owned my home for 27 years. I have faithfully paid all loan commitments--mortgages, lines of credit, and car loans. Most delinquencies on my credit report are minor medical bills (coinsurance amounts) and I am working on getting those paid. My 16-year-old son has begun paying for some of his expenses, so cash flow has improved slightly. I have enrolled in the college's tuition payment plan ($1,000 a month for 10 months), and, even though I plan to supplement my income with freelance editing and proofreading, I'd feel a lot better if I could cut that monthly expense, even if it's for three years.
