This is a relisting.  I have gotten rid of $2000 in debt while this was being posted.  I also left a group just to see how this would do.  I know therefore I don't have the reputation attached to the group but I hope the numbers will speak for themselves.

How did I get myself into this debt?  I put tuition charges on my credit card, very bad idea, and with working only part-time at the time, I wasn't able to pay it all off.  In addition, I was unemployed for 5 months due to my employer's financial status.  I also obtained $1000 in medical bills because of strange pains that I suffered and had to see numerous doctors and get MRIs to determine the cause.  Now I am mostly healed.  Anyway, I am currently a full-time employee at a software company.  I see great potential for this company and my future.  I am currently assessing my situation and intending on going back to school in the next year for my second bachelor's to be followed by a master's soon afterwards.  I plan on working my way through school but I want to clear out this debt first.  Working full-time at a great company with a great job, along with selling possessions for extra income, and working part-time at another job will help me supplement my income to pay off the debt.

Right now, I make $1800/mo.  (That does NOT include selling off possessions for the extra income and let me tell you, I have lots of shoes that must go.  Also, I have not officially found part-time work but have been very blessed in the leads.  I should know even while this is being listed so if you want to know, send me a message.)

Here are the rest of the numbers.
$565 Rent
$18   Water
$60   Electricity
$15   Home Phone
$50   Cell Phone
$80   Car Insurance
$75   Gas(my job is close by so I walk to work)
$75   Food(I have become a big supporter of frozen meals, meals that you cook in bulk then freeze, and make for real cheap)
$5     Clothing(but I have not touched that fund in a while)
Those are my expenses.
$943 is how much I spend per month. 

That is just a little more than half my income and I hope that it becomes half of my income when I add extra jobs.  Therefore, as you can see, and the numbers don't lie, I will be able and really willing to pay this loan off in a year.  Thank you for viewing this listing!  And as a side note, I am the young lady in the picture.
