About Me
I have been reading a lot about prosper over the last few months and have decided to take the plunge  =)

I live in the beautiful state of Colorado and work in the IT field.  I have been working in this field for the last 5 years and love it.  There is always a new challenge around the corner.  I bought my first home a little over a year ago and have around 10k of equity in it.  I am currently working with a credit councilor to get out of debt and consolidate some of my loans.  I am working hard and plan to pay off all my debts, except for the house, within the next year.

My Current Finances
Total Income - $3600 net take home a month

Expenses
Food - $300
Car 1 - $330
Car 2 - $220
Utilities - $200
Housing - $1543
Credit Cards / Loans - $650
Misc - $120
Total = $3363
3600 - 3363 = $237 left after expenses.

I owe $1,217 left on the 2nd car which is a 64 VW bus.  Once that is paid off, or sold, I will have an extra $220 a month for these payments.  I will also get a hefty tax return this year of around $2,000.  I plan to put the majority of that here to pay off this loan.

Credit
My credit is in poor shape right now.  I am working with a councilor to get everything under control.  I made a few mistakes and lived beyond my means for a while.  I now know the dangers of credit cards and plan to only buy items with cash in the future. 

Why Prosper?
I have decided to come to prosper mainly because I really liked the idea of this site.  I know I will get a better interest rate here then any bank could offer and once everything is paid off I would like to give back to this community.

Thank you very much for your consideration.  I will always make timely payments that will be automatically deducted from my checking account.
