Mine is 36% at the moment based on my basic salary...I suppose it would be a bit better than that if I included overtime and allowance payments I get but those aren't guaranteed.
That seems high but it's even scarier to think about my available credit and how high it would be if I maxed out - 82%!! And that's taking into consideration that I've cleared and cancelled a CC account that had a £4.5k limit! Also, at the time all my limits were set I earned £5k a year less than I do now so it could have gone well over 100% :eek:Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!0 -
If I include my student loan, it is around 60% of my salary, but without the student loan would be 25%. I've never really thought to include my student loan though, as they just take the money every month!If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.
£2 savings jar £300:D
Total credit card debts £1250:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: - Will I ever learn!!0
