Background
I am 35 years old and I am married with one son.  I have been working for the federal government for the last 8 years as an inspector.  I have a BA, and currently I am in graduate school working to gain more education so I can promote higher.  My wife, though getting a late start, completed her degree and is currently employed as a medical biller with a large eye clinic.  About 9 to 10 years we ran into financial hardship due to medical bills, and I lost my job when the company I worked for was purchased by another company and they replaced everyone.  Since that time I went to work for the federal government so that I would have financial security.  In the last 8 years I have purchased and paid off three newer used cars, which were not reported to the credit agencies.  I purchased the cars from a family friend who owns a very small town used car dealership.  He never reports to the agencies, so they didn?t help my credit much.  I have also paid off a couple of other loans in the past years.  Last year I paid off my Nissan Sentra, which I purchased new a few years ago.  I recently purchased a new Jeep Liberty from Chrysler Financial with an interest rate of 5.9%. 

Reason for Loan

My mother-in-law recently passed away, and her and my father-in-laws savings were not enough to cover medical expenses and funeral costs.  I payed off many of the bills, and helped with other expenses.  I need the loan to pay off the card I put these bills on and replace my personal accounts with the funds I had to withdraw immediately to cover funeral fees. 

I haven?t used sick leave in nearly 4 years, so if I were to get ill or hurt, I will still have a pay-check.  I also have enough money in my Thrift Savings Plan (the government?s 401) to borrow to pay off my Jeep and any other loans, if something were to happen to me.  I also have great health insurance, which eliminates the risk of costly medical bills. I am also invested in various stocks, which could be sold to pay for bills.  I am also invested in Prosper in lower risk loans.  My current pay will easily cover the monthly payment of the loan I am requesting.
