    Well 1 month on and £2002 plus repaid. I think this hour thing has really put my huge debt into prospective. I spend a massive £66.72 each day servicing my debt, I could get a week shop for that. My debt seems to be coming down so slowly as if the £66.72 doesn't make a difference. Oh its so depressing, how did I get so badly into debt. Well I know how, but I never realised the harsh reality. I wish I could meet me from 10 years ago, I would kick his axxe.

    But then again, now I've looked at your thread after buying chocolate and crisps in the shop yesterday, that could have been another 2 hours of my debt... so every time I have the urge to buy crisps and chocolate (my massive downfall with money along with expanding waistline!) I'm going to try putting the money in a tin instead and see how quickly that adds up to go towards my debt.

    In theory anyway :o See how long it actually lasts!

    34p an hour for my mortgage. That's about 3 pints of beer a day...

    I'm SO looking forward to clearing my mortgage now :beer:

    Our hourly payment for our combined debt (mine and hubby) including our mortgage is £3.71!! It seems a lot compared to some but I thought it would be more to be honest so am not sure how I feel about knowing that...I'll let it digest a bit I think. Thanks for posting this, very interesting!

    I love this!

    My current level of debt costs me £5.50 a day in interest. Can't work out what I pay back as it varies every month.

    Will bare the £5.50 in mind everytime I want to waste my money on takeaway or some other crap!

    I guess if you want a more exact figure x the payment by 12, divide by 365 and then divide by 24. Should knock a penny off most peoples :D

    £0.598 for me, I stuck the 8 in 'cause it's nearly 60p :)
