Status History
Mar 28, 2008 Current
I graduated from Colorado State University in December of 2004 with a BS in Biochemistry and Microbiology.  After college it took me longer then anticipated to get a job in my field and during that time the only means of living was my credit cards.  I now work at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver as a laboratory researcher, doing genetic-based studies on patients with Chronic Beryllium Disease.  I have been working at National Jewish for over three years.  I also work two part-time jobs, one at an outdoors store called Recreational Equipment, Inc. and the other as a personal assistant for my handicap aunt.  

I found out about prosper.com a year ago through my roommate who has as a strong background in finance.  Since I met him, he has helped me lower credit card rates, obtain better financing on my vehicle, and helped me create a budget and simple cash flow model to track my progress.  I am in a good cash position as I pay more than the minimum payment on my credit cards each month but believe prosper.com would help me accomplish my goal of being debt free even quicker.  

I only have 2 credit cards with a balance on them: 
UsBank - $1000 @ 15.49% APR
Bank of America - $6900 @ 11.99% APR

How I will use my prosper.com loan:  
1)      UsBank Visa credit card: $1000.00
2)      Bank of America credit card: $6,840.00
3)      Prosper.com fee: $160.00
Total amount requesting: $8,000.00    


Monthly financial details:  

Net income after payroll deductions from all sources:  $2,300  
Rent: $425

Cell Phone: $55
Insurance: $75
Prosper loan: $166  
Student Loans: $100
Food and living: $350
**************************
Total Monthly Expenses: $1434

I will have $866 left in discretionary income to make the payments on my Prosper loan.     


This will be my second prosper loan to decrease my credit card debt.  I received my first prosper loan in April of 2007 and have not had a missed or late payment.  Through my bio above I have pointed out the reason for my debts and my desire to reduce and ultimately eliminate them.  I realize it?s a long road ahead but with Prospers help I hope to make that journey a little shorter.  I am a very responsible person; I understand my financial position well, I know what I need to do, and would simply like a little extra help.  If you have any other questions, feel free to email me.  Thanks for considering me for a Prosper loan.
