congratulations on clearing your card.
i have strange feelings of jealousy sometimes, sometimes i'm jealous of people with cards cos from my side they look easier to clear as all of my remaining debts are loans, but then i'm not sorry that they're loans as they are always coming down after each payment as interest has already been added to them and the interest rate won't be changed on me with little or no notice.
told you i'm strange!0 -
I don't think that's strange at all - entirely normal, but you are right on the rational side of you that knows that at least there is security in the loans being "fixed" as it were.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
Balance as at 01/09/23 = £115,000.00 Balance as at 31/12/23 = £112,000.00
Balance as at 31/08/24 = £105,400.00 Balance as at 31/12/24 = £102,500.00

We can all only do what we can within our means and with the tools given to us and by the very fact that we all earn different amounts,owe different amounts and need differring basic amounts to live on stands to reason that the debt will come down at variable levels as well...
That was a bit profound for sunday afternoon..sorry0 -
