ABOUT ME: I am 35 years old, separated, with a 4 yr old child. I have been with my current employer for 7 years.

EXPLANATION OF NEED FOR CREDIT: I have signed up for a Dependant Care Savings Account (DCSA) with the hopes of saving on taxes for childcare in 2007. The problem is, it a reimbursement account, so the beginning of the year will leave me short on bills while I pay for both the childcare and the DCSA at the same time. The state minimum loan is $6001, which I am requesting here.

WHAT I WILL DO WITH THE MONEY LOANED TO ME:
$3350 will compensate for the first 8 months of $96.15 per week into the Savings Account.
$1600 will ensure the first 8 months of Prosper loan payments (at about $200/ month).
$1000 will help complete divorce and act as emergency account.

HERE ARE MY MONTHLY FINANCIAL DETAILS: (note - I am underestimating income and overestimating expenses slightly)
Net income after payroll deductions from all sources: $ 2500

Rent: $ 950
Phone: $ 85
Gas & water: included with rent
Electricity: $ 55
Car Operating Expenses: $ 113 insurance, $ 150 gas, $50 other
Food & 2 cats: $ 250
Life Insurance/Legal: $ 27
Cable/Internet: $ 65
Clothing, expenses for children, medical, etc. $ 310
Other: $ 308 - 401(k) loan

Total Monthly Expenses: $ 2471
I will have $ 29 left, but I also contribute about $ 230/mo to my 401(k), which is optional. In addition, overtime and bonus is common for another $ 100-200/mo. Once the childcare is over in September, it will free up $245, which will continue to pay the Prosper loan. Do not forget I will have also saved up $5000 in the DCSA by year-end, which will allow me to pay back the entire loan!

CLOSING REMARKS TO LENDERS: Just in case you may think the divorce may be an issue in my ability to pay back this loan, my wife and I are splitting up amicably, and custody is not an issue, nor is alimony or child support. I am living close enough to the vest to need this loan. I will NOT let you down. In fact, if I had to, I would move back with my Dad or take another 401(k) loan, just to make sure I will pay this loan back. Thank you for your time and consideration!
