Wow BenBen thats amazing, that 10 years will be gone in no time at this rate, when did you start overpaying?

benbenandme

Thanks Lilmissup I started saving in January 2007 before I moved house but didn't start making overpayments until just over a year ago. I know its sad but I love it, I'm rarely tempted to have a spending blitz, I'm much happier seeing another month disappear

lilmissmup

Well if you can knock off 5 years in a 1 year that 10 years will be gone in another 2 Maybe!

I will be debt free in 20 days and can't wait to start saving for a house deposit, i feel so guilty spending lol.

Oh if only !!! Unfortunately every pound I overpay is having less and less impact on the interest owed, when I first started each pound I overpaid saved me about 3 times that amount in future interest payments, now for every pound I overpay it saves me just under 2 times that amount. But it is all still saving me money and its getting me nearer that day when it will be gone for good

I'm a bit staggered that you *know* that!

Bye for now, benben - I'm off to see my mum and potter about for a week or so, hope the chicken pox clears up quickly.
