    Good idea for a thread. Ours is about 50% of net pay with overpayments and about 18% of net pay without overpayents.

    The mortgage company tell me to pay £320 a month but I am actually paying £1320 per month. It is my only debt and I want it cleared as soon as possible.
    I'm going for my QuidCo £million!
    Total So Far: £9923.58

    'fraid so.
    Although I may trade her in for a newer model when I reach 50.
    Either that or buy a red sports car.

    Just got a mortgage for £530pm, and I earn about £1200pm, which goes on that and rest of bills, leaving me about £100pm left over if I am lucky.
    My wife pays for food and enjoyables from her money.

    That said it is probably £50pm cheaper than renting around here for a 4 bed house.
    Nothing to see here :beer:
