39% but if 50% is more acceptable, well then :rotfl:
Only joking. No intention of making that %age any bigger
Hope I haven't scared too many people. Now if only we can all get a pay increase, that will help the numbers come down

I have added in the Mortgage(s) ours and Mums.
Our debt to (gross) earnings percentage is 175%.
I am going back to calculating just non mortgage debt. Otherwise this will depress me.
