You and your money. Are you ready to talk about it?

We launched the Prosper Talk About The Taboo campaign and sweepstakes as a way of encouraging us all to open up and share how our finances are shaping our lives. Do you have credit card debt that you are struggling to pay off? Have you sworn off dining out to save up for a home down payment? Or maybe you have a student loan that you're working hard to pay off. This site is a place to share your stories about how you’re tackling debt, and celebrate your milestones, as well as helping you find guidance and practical help. What better way of shedding your financial inhibitions than sharing your own story, or sharing in someone's goals?
