£2.78 per hour

80p an hour for me!

I've worked out that I am paying 75p off my mortgage every hour, including interest, for the next 16 years, and 18p per hour for my car for the next three years.

I am going to start overpaying that mortgage, savings account just set up, going to try to get a grand in there by January. That'll make it over £1 per hour. Damn, I feel a bit ashamed of myself!

well i have just been to the toilet, and in that time I have repaid 4.6 pence, i thought going toilet only costs a penny.

That reminds me of a calculator that was installed on every computer in an office where I used to work. You pressed a button when you got up from your desk (for a 'bathroom break') and it started a countdown. Stopped it when you got back and it'd tell you how much you'd earnt in the time you were 'indisposed'.

Right, as I'm useless at programming, as soon as my brother finishes work I'm getting him to programme me a countdown of my debts reducing at 1.31p per minute. This is taking obsession to whole new levels.......

if everything goes to plan, then its £1.25 an hour for me. Only for another 5 months, though! Imagine what I could do with that extra £25 a day...

oh dear what have i started. Well in 5 hours since the post i have paid £13.75 of my debt, but i have been out and withdrew £10 and got £5 left.

£0.83 an hour for me . Am now regretting buying 3 slices of caramel shortcake at £1, bought in a second, eaten in about the same time... I could have shaved more than an hour off my debt free date :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.


Too scared to work out the mortgage!

Nope, I was definitely right, had I missed the decimal point THEN it'd be £1.31 (131p) per minute Nice thought though isn't it!

Bro was busy last night unfortunately, poor bloke works more hours than God sends. I'll nag him till he does it though

I stumbled across this post and, because I love spreadsheets and all things of a financially anal stylee had to do mine...

Mine's a little more complicated as I became debt-free in December 2010 (:j), but I'm a member of the 'Payment a Day' thread and as I've been keeping a running total of all daily payments I've made since 15/9/9 (either to debts to begin with, and then savings afterwards) I decided to work it out from that.

Therefore I have worked out I've 'made a payment' of £1.97 per hour since 15/9/9!

Holy sheeeeet.

That is great. I have since worked out that if i save a penny an hour until I am debt free I will have saved about £170. I am trying to work out what to spend that on. Not a reward as such, but something symbolic of the debt free journey I have been on, and the beautiful path I am driving towards. Any suggestions?
