Good grief. I've just done this myself and I only repay £0.82 per hour! That just sounds so pathetic!This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Yes but as a very rough calculation. From your Lbm untill march you have been paying 60 odd pence per hour, so you have managed to up it considerably.Debt free. March 2020

Oooo, don't want to think about the mortgage. I'll scare myself with that when I've managed the rest of the debts. However I now know that I'm paying debts off at 1.3p a minute thanks to Andy fuelling my debt calculation OCD![STRIKE]DFD 22/7/14[/STRIKE]

Every hour for the next 2 years. I think I have lost my marbles, but anyway, for some strange reason I worked out how much debt I am repaying per hour. I was bored, anyhow afterwards I went to the shops and bought a sandwich and crisps for £2.80. As I was eating said item I thought how I theoretically could have been debt free 1 hour earlier, then I thought how many other hours could be saved?
In theory, that means youre somehow paying £67.20 on debt? PER DAY. How is this even possible?
EDIT - Yeah - I get it now - Debt per month / 30 / 24 = Hourly amount
Mines only 51p Meh!!!! Pretty poor. Gonna put my hours to better use I thinkLive for what tomorrow has to bring, not what yesterday has taken away0 -

.51p per hour is ok, assuming you get your full 8 hour sleep per day, you repay over £4. Repaying debt is a doddle you can do it in your sleep.Debt free. March 2020
