Here we go. Hopefully, fourth time's a charm. I have my starting interest rate set at the max allowed: 17.47%.

This is my second loan on Prosper.

I am about 50% of the way to paying off my current prosper loan ($3,700 remaining of original $6K loan taken out a little over a year ago). My original loan was used to fund other prosper loans. I am currently funding 70 loans on prosper with that money.

I am currently looking to pay off a credit card balance of $4,200. I have paid down about $2,000 since my last attempt at listing this loan. I am currently asking for $6,001 so that my max interest rate could be set higher and make my listing more attractive. 

My problem began when I had transferred an old credit card balance over to a new credit card hoping for the 1.99% introductory rate, but after they added in the transfer fee my final balance was over my allowed limit! My new rate is now 29.99% because I had gone over the limit! I am so angry about this deceptive practice that I am not going to give them another dime!! 

The rest of my savings are in CD's and stocks, which I do not wish to liquidate. Total liquid assets amount to about $35,000.

I make $3,280 (after-tax) per month, and pay the following items monthly:

Rent: $850 (includes heat, hot water, and electric)
Internet and TV: $60
Cell Phone: $100 (family plan)
Food: $200
Gas for Car: $150
Other Prosper Loan: $194
Incidentals and Entertainment: $500

401K Savings from each Paycheck: $125 x 2 = $250 per month

Income: $3,280
Expenses: ($2,054)
401K: ($250)

That leaves me about $976 per month to pay the new Prosper loan, which should be about an additional $250 per month if my rate is around 14-15%.

Feel free to contact me here on prosper if you have any questions.

Thanks!
