BBC Personal inflation Calculator

Graham_Devon

So howcome the usual bulls are all doing great with their lives costing less each year, then?

I was going to post this up myself, as I had a feeling I knew who would state they are in minus teritory, and I'm not wrong!

purch

I think I'll get myself a Mortgage so I can lower it !!!!

skap7309

+3.7% for me - probably about right.

Stop being so paranoid..... perhaps it's the calculator and it's generalisations as stated by others?

It didn't ask me if I was on fixed or tracker... I'm on fixed and my personal inflation is nothing like -2.4%.

Hence why I said I was surprised.

That's a mighty big chip on your shoulder.

Graham I am on a .49 tracker since October we spend about £240 per month on diesel(which is cheaper than this time last year.:rolleyes:).

in reality i am most probably -20%+

Do you want me to lie? OK for Graham yes my personal inflation as gone up event though it is a complete lie.:rolleyes:

Ever thought we may all have mortgages and run cars over reasonable distances?

Perhaps we are shrewder than your average mortgage holders.

Also I should add the BBC calculator seems to be just done on standards that are not correctable by users. EG type of mortgage etc.

5.7% for me. Expected it to be higher actually, given that most of money goes on rent and food. Nothing spent on running a car and I don't have a mortgage.

oh dear - this paranoia is getting really bad. and stop this bull/bear rivalry nonsense please.

as stated before probably because the calculator is very general and doesn't differentiate between a fixed or variable rate mortgage.

it also allows you to enter your mortgage amount which in my case is the biggest deflationary factor.

Johnny Bravo mentioned a chip on your shoulder - he's underestimated you.
