Quick question: given interest is usually charged daily on what we owe on our mortgages, is it better to transfer small overpayments (eg under £20) straight into the mortgage account or save them up and pay once you hit, say, £100? I used to save up the smaller amounts on a previous mortgage as it felt to be really scrooge-like/scrimping (I can't think of a better description at the moment) to pay in smaller amounts than that. That sounds a bit ridiculous putting typing it out. I mean, who in a bank is going to look at the figures anyway!
My DH called me a very rude name (very affectionately) when I told him I had just sent an o/p of £1.28 to tidy down the mortgage to a nice round number. Then when the mortgage was under £100k, I printed out all the mortgage overpayments, stuck it in a card with the question, who is a t*** now?:rotfl:
See, that's the thing with money, it all adds up, and if your interest is calculated daily, as far as I am concerned, the quicker it goes in, the quicker it comes down. Each to his own, but mine goes in as soon as I have it, even if it is a piddly little amount to some.4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!
