Purpose of loan:
I think that I am getting the hang of listing on Prosper.com. This listing decreased the requested amount and increased the interest rate ceiling. This loan will be used to pay off a portion of my higher interest credit card debt. I previously withdrew a request for a loan for my wedding. When I shared with my parents what I was trying to do they generously gave me a 20 year 0% interest loan for the wedding costs. They encouraged me to ask the Prosper community to support my efforts to pay off my existing higher interest credit card debt with a single, lower interest loan. So, this loan will be used to eliminate my higher interest credit card debt.

My financial situation:
I am a good candidate for this loan because I am (1) gainfully employed with increased earning potential in the near future, (2) have an excellent education (1 Bachelors degree from a small liberal arts college and 2 Masters degrees from Princeton University) which means great job security, and (3) a very good credit repayment history with all debts paid on-time. Also, I have not used any of my credit cards to make purchases in the past 15 months (I put them in a drawer at home instead of in my wallet), and I will not be using them again.

Thank you for reading my profile and considering my proposal. I would really appreciate your temporary help.
