    Arrrggggghhhhh looks like mine is around 26% :eek:
    If you include mortgage then its far, far, far too much :rotfl:

    Mine is 26.26% today but will be 0% come January so I'm not too worried!

    Family, I dread to think! Might work it out later


    Edited to add family:
    Well the joint account's money (so what everyone puts in for the household, not mum's total wages)
    Without mortgage = 189%
    With .... = 515% :eek: (Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez that's awful _pale_)

    Mine is about 36%. The only consolation is that I don't get paid very much so my debt isn't a particularly huge amount! Still terribly depressing that it's a third of what I earn in year!

    Mine is about 17% at the moment.
    And that's not including living expenses this month...
    ... but when I began it was exactly 1/3rd, so am getting there!
    LBM : August 2007
    my debts: less than this time last year....!
