This is a question Where Did It All Go Wrong?

Woocfot asks: Tell us all about that turning point in your life when it started going downhill. Yeah, that drunken conversation with my dad when he suggested I become a civil servant. Dammit, I could have been an astronaut

Where the fuck have you got 1.5% from?
For the last time, as if I had wanted to be a teacher, I would have been.

Rates at the time were 5%. My rate tracked .5% below that rate. This gives us a rate of 4.5% for my mortgage. Borrowing £375k at 4.5% pa works out at monthly payments of £1,400.00 - which then dropped to £0pcm within a year, as the base rate fell to .5%

You do the math.

G'night.

You asked where I got 1.1 million from so I explained.
You're a bit defensive here.

I have to agree with Albert here
www.bankofengland.co.uk/boeapps/iadb/Repo.asp

5.0% from April to October 2008

(However, when the mortgage rate dropped to zero I would have paid down the principal on the mortgage. 3 years payments knocks £50k off the principal, so if interest rates go back up you're better-off).

I'm afraid that makes you a sex offender as well then.

Right. But I'm simply explaining the figures in my original post which were based on the 2% rate implied before he edited his.

Nothing's been edited my learned friend.
I used the same link in my original post, clearly showing 2008 rates.

Face it, you supposedly have a PHD yet you can't fathom a sub-GCSE percentage problem.

Good luck in life, you're gonna need it.

Awww. Thanks.
I've always wanted advice from a creepy internet stalker and semi-literate fantasist.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Fri 1 Mar 2013, 9:04, closed)
No really, the pleasure's all mine.
But the fantasist crown is surely all yours, to claim a PHD and then fail an 11yr old's question on percentages.

Maybe next week I'll school you in basic fractions.

Learn to read, munchkin.

(I helped save b3ta! Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Fri 1 Mar 2013, 10:23, closed)
Learn to count, 'doctor'.

You honestly can't see how silly you're being, can you?

(I helped save b3ta! Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Fri 1 Mar 2013, 12:38, closed)
Not half as silly as sweating over a PHD in mathmatics
and not being able to grasp the basic principle of percentages.

It's written "PhD"
HTH
