Purpose of loan:
I have several loans left to pay off after graduating from the University of Illinois, and they all have pretty high interest rates. I'd like to consolidate them so that I have one loan to pay off through Prosper, hopefully with a lower interest rate.

My financial situation:
Now that I have graduated with my Bachelor's Degree, I am a full-time employee at one of the biggest insurance companies in the country. I am in a position to pay off my credit card loans without using them any longer, which has been my goal for a long time.

Monthly net income: $2,540

Monthly expenses: $1,855
  Housing: $655
  Insurance: $120
  Car expenses: $350
  Utilities: $100
  Phone, cable, internet: $60
  Food, entertainment: $200
  Clothing, household expenses $150
  Credit cards and other loans: $120
  Other expenses: $100 (for medical purposes)

My monthly expenses leave me with about $500 monthly, which will be enough for me to pay my Prosper bill reliably. I also take on occasional freelance work, which provides financial cushion and will hopefully begin to be more of an opportunity to start saving instead of pouring towards the high interest credit cards.

I will be very grateful for any help that I can find on Prosper. Thank you in advance.
