I mean you would have thought after all his hard work, that by now a good proportion of the population would be financially savvy wouldn't you.......
But the following is a quote from a report I saw on pigsback.com, which shows that there is STILL a long way to go. All I can say is good luck
Martin, looks like you're going to need it:rolleyes:

"No interest in interest
The survey shows:
• 66 per cent of credit cardholders could not tell you what rate of interest they are paying
• 56 per cent of men and 71 per cent of women with personal loans admit they had no idea of what APR they are being charged
• 29 per cent of those with personal loans can't guess how much they have left to pay off
• 75 per cent of us with overdrafts don't know what interest we're paying, rising to 83 per cent among those aged 45-54 - and nor do 48 per cent of mortgage holders
• Nearly a quarter of mortgage holders don't know how much of their home loan they still have to repay":eek: :eek: :eek:
