Purpose of loan: Same as the last one. I plan to use the money to buy additional shares of a dividend paying stock that I currently own, while the share prices have gone down.

My financial situation: Same as the last one (only a 30-fixed mtg. 5.875%).  This will be my third Prosper loan.

[a]-Taken from a recent payroll. I intend to reduce the amount taken out for taxes this year b/c we ended up with big refund last year.
[b]-I raised this by $20 this time to reflect higher fuel/ins. premiums. Our daily mileage has slightly decreased since my last loan.
[c]-We decided we no longer wanted my wife's cell phone. Thiss reduced our expense by more than half.

***************************************************************************************
Q: How Do I Intend To Make The Payments?
A: Pretty much the same as last time. In addition, I will lower my Flexible Spending Account (FSA) contributions to free up an additional $40/mo (we don't expect to need as much this year). Any Prosper accruals will be used to repay this loan (last two statements show an avg. of about $95 per month).

None-wage income contributions...
$90    Accruals from my existing Propser loans (actual avg. about $95)
$160  Net Dividends from currently held shares last month (actual $159.84-this is monthly income)
--------------------------
$250 Total.  Prosper's loan calculator shows the payments for this loan to be about $235.02.

***************************************************************************************
Q: Your expected non-wage contributions exceed your loan payment. Why don't you ask to borrow more?
A: I feel like I can sucessfully deploy the same amount that I borrowed last time and I do not want to tie up all of my non-wage income with this loan. Some of this money will go into repayment, but I want at least a portion of it to go into building up my cash position to protect against Congress...or the unexpected. This is both good for me and my lenders!
