Purpose of loan:
I will be using this loan to pay off my credit cards, and to purchase an engagement ring. In order for me to get married, I absolutely want to get myself debt free. I want to start a new life with limited debt. As soon as I am funded, I plan on placing my credit cards into a safety deposit box so that I do not use them unless it is an emergency.

My financial situation:
I have always paid back my loans. Generally, earlier than required. I need to have a constant and realistic payment, as the credit card companies will have me paying for ever with the minimums they require on a monthly basis.

I have a very good job, and really desire to be debt free. I have extra money every month, and put at least $300/month in my savings account. I honestly believe that I have a better than A credit rating, and I suspect it is at this level due to my decreasing the credit limits on all my credit cards.

I had $20000 on one card, $23000 on another, and I was bumped up to $10000 on my third. The first card I moved down to $2000, as it was a retail card with no finance charges for one year. I will be paying that off before the end of the no financing terms. The second card is now at $8000 limit, and the third is at $7500 limit. Maybe I was incorrect in forcing them to drop my credit limits, but it gives me a reasonably limit. If I see I have $23000 limit, I might just spend more. Just what the credit card industry wants.

I'm looking to make myself debt free (outside of those pesky student loans). I fund my retirement at 10% of salary, and want to retire early. By taking the loan here, I will be able to know how much I owe, and budget for it better. Mostly because I don't want to make my groups rating go down, and because I always pay back my debts.
