Listing Information
Amount: $2,000.00 Status: Cancelled
Grade: E DTI: 62%
Lender Rate: 35% Borrower: GraduatingSoon
Time Left: Finished State: AL
Funded: 100% Group: (No Group)
Purpose of loan: I paid several medical bills with credit cards. I used a Prosper loan earlier this year to consolidate some of them. I still have a few outstanding medical bills that are demanding payment by the end of the year. I don't have credit left to pay them with my credit cards. A second loan from Prosper would be a blessing. I'm trying hard to finish the semester and the calls are adding a lot of stress.

My financial situation: My credit rating is poor, but I do make make all my payments. (Sometimes late, but always within 30 days. I have two payments right now that I'll pay when my paycheck is deposited tomorrow.) I'm living as cheaply as possible and putting everything I have into paying off debt. I'm in graduate school. I'll finish my PhD next May (2008). At that time I'll be able to get a good job. In the meantime I'm teaching as an adjunct and tutoring students. The good news is that I have two potential employers starting in May. That will double my income plus I'll be able to continue adjuct teaching and tutoring. I just have to make it until May and things will turn around.  

During the four weeks between semesters, I will be working a seasonal job. That plus the this loan will put things back into balance.

My monthly budget:

Mortgage/rent: $350 (I have a roommate.)

Credit cards and other loan payments: $1400 (minimum, I  try to pay a little more)
Other expenses: $100 (books, my tuition is covered by grants and scholarships)
