Purpose of loan: The loan will be used to achieve a lower APR on an existing prosper loan (remaining balance is the requested loan amount), and then accelerate the dept repayment process by increasing allocation to principal with the existing payment intact. My financial situation: I've eliminated expenses the last few months to rid myself of debt more efficiently. I refuse to make money for the Banks and Credit Card companies any longer. The housing market is a buyers market in Michigan with many foreclosures, but I can not take advantage of this investment opportunity with my current debt load. I just paid off a credit card with an APR of 12.99%, and I am attacking the next card with a cascading repayment structure. As soon as that card is paid down, the next card receives all funds used for the previous card and so forth until all debt is paid down to $0. My rent is free at the moment (due to family arrangements) which allows me to allocate $513 a month to credit cards, $325 above minimum payments. Feel free to ask if any further questions should arise - current budget below. The monthly income of $1900 is the average monthly income based on last two years paystubs (bonus excluded as I'm not budgeting with this uncertain income). Profit sharing at the end of the year has allowed the total income to surpass $30000 for the last 5 years consecutively - a great opportunity to erase a lot of debt quickly. This years bonus erased a previous card completely. Credit reports still not updated with this recent update. Thanks!! Monthly income $1900.00 ---------------------------------------------------- Rent Free Phone $75.00 Auto insurance $125.00 Auto loan $435.00 Gasoline $310.00 Medical (0% APR) $50.00 Credit union Loan $160.00 Prosper Loan $86.00 Credit Card (11.99%) $400.00 Credit Card (5.99%) $113.00 ------------------------------------------------------ Total Expenses: $1754.00 I'm a very responsible christian individual with strong ethics and morals. I believe the bible clearly states that all debt should be paid in full, regardless of life events, and removing a credit card from my financial portfolio is a step in the right direction towards better stewardship. Thank you! |
