Thank you for taking the time to read my listing.

About me and this loan:
My name is Judy.  I'm a single mom with a 14-year-old daughter, whom I love dearly.  I'm currently employed  as a software analyst and I'm also a published author.  I've published one nonfiction book, and my first novel is now in preparation.  In the past, I held a job for 18 years being downsized out the door.  Being out of work led to serious financial difficulties, while I was on unemployment compensation looking for a new job.  That was a new experience for me, because I've always been very careful with my finances.  At this point, having been in my current software job for 2+ years, things are beginning to stabilize in my life financially.  This loan will help me to solidify that foundation, and get rid of some other debts and accounts at unreasonably high interest rates, that are residual from my period of unemployment.  It will also help me on the road to repairing my credit.

The debts I'll be paying off amount to about $2400.  The listing is for $3K because that is the minimum I can request in Georgia.

My Income:
Although I have some income from my writing, my main income is my salary, which amounts to $3332 on a monthly basis, after taxes.  (I'm paid biweekly, $1538 after all deductions.)

My Expenses:
My monthly expenses are pretty normal for Georgia:
  • Rent $995  
  • Utilities $110
  • Phone/etc: $130
  • Gas $35
  •  Car Loan and maintenance: $150
  • Food $175
  • Insurance $85
  • Clothing and other expenses for child: $150
  • Credit cards and loans that won't be paid off: $250
  • Other: $60

So my total monthly expenses are about $2140.  

Paying back this loan:
As you can see, I have nearly $1000 left over per month to pay this loan back. That is several times the monthly payment, even at 29%.  So I have no trouble doing that, and, believe me, I will do so. I want out of this "credit risk trap"!  I plan to use the remaining cushion to start saving up for my daughter's future and for my future business plans.  (I hope to expand my writing in the future into a viable business in its own right.)

I hope you'll be able to help me.  You'll get a good return, and I'll be making a step toward financial freedom. And thank you for reading all of this.
