    Good grief. I've just done this myself and I only repay £0.82 per hour! That just sounds so pathetic!

    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.

  • 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!

    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 think
    Live for what tomorrow has to bring, not what yesterday has taken away

    .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.
