My Success Story:
I am returning to Prosper with hopes of securing a second loan.  My first Prosper Loan was successfully created in May 2007 for $9,000 at 15.98%, and I have made every monthly payment on-time.  The first Prosper Loan was used to consolidate my credit card debt that I incurred years ago to help pay my way through college.  By consolidating these extremely high-rate credit cards (>25%), I reduced my WACC (weighted average cost of capital) by more than 8%.  I am very grateful to those who helped make that possible!!

Purpose of Loan:
This new (second) Prosper Loan would be used to payoff my Dell Account, currently $2,089 at 26.66%.  Four months ago, I bought a Dell Desktop through a special work purchase program.  At the time of purchase, the Dell Representative inferred that if I make a couple payments on-time that I would likely qualify for a much better interest rate.  After several attempts, I have come to the realization that it was simply a sales ploy to complete the order.

The price of the Dell Desktop may seem excessively high; however, I purchased a high powered system (including software) that is identical to the one that I use at the office as a financial analyst for a Fortune 500 Company.  The Dell OptiPlex operates dual 22" flat panel monitors, so I can view several programs at once and cross-reference data between programs.  Now, I can work from home in the evenings and weekends as needed.

My Financial Situation:
I am a 32 year old woman, and I have been employed by the same Fortune 500 Company as a financial analyst for the past 6 years.  In addition to making my first Prosper Loan payments on-time, I also own a condo and a car, so I am well aware of the importance of a good credit rating.

I have listed my monthly expenses below to show my ability to repay this loan.  You can see that my monthly net income less "fixed" and "variable" expenses gives me a positive cash flow of $344 per month, which more than covers the requested (second) Prosper Loan payment (~$80).  In addition, my "Dell Account" listed below as $100 would be eliminated by this Prosper Loan.  In other words, my cash flow of $344 per month will improve slightly with a successful Prosper Loan.  Lastly, if my financial situation should change, I can reduce the variable expenses to compensate.
