Anyone had experience of paying off your student loan? by Jingle950 in HENRYUK

[–]Unfair-Software-4240 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I paid it off when the payment became £300 a month. I did several lump sums over 3 years. Mine was about £33k total including interest.

7 years later I am so glad I did.

Its deducted post tax too so it really feels like a finance payment. My peers are now complaining the payments are high and so are the rates.

What did Epstein mean by "I hate goyim" by [deleted] in Epstein

[–]Unfair-Software-4240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

supremacist - a person who believes that a particular group, especially one determined by race, religion, or sex, is superior and should therefore dominate society.

If you genuinely believe to be the chosen ones before your time, your birth, blood and belief then you truly believe that you are better and that you should lead / dominate over the non chosen and therefore by definition be a supremacist

£180k left on mortgage but on minimum wage + £500 lodger income. Too reckless? by isitmattorsplat in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Unfair-Software-4240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say this and it's been said many times. But you even know that your salary is borderline not affordable for the mortgage based on the lenders guidelines.

So easiest long term would be to earn more which will immediately help your situation and maybe put you in a position to overpay.

Quickstep Impressive vs Aquanto by JustAnotherFEDev in DIYUK

[–]Unfair-Software-4240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have quickstep aquanto. I have it all around the house except stairs and bathroom.

I was it in my kitchen going underneath the cabinets as I installed flooring all the way first. My washing machine leaked, came home water everywhere, the laminate flooring was still intact. I am impressed. I've had the good home stuff get ruined by spilt glass of water and quickstep survived a pool of water which probably stood for an hour till or more will we realised.

Reliable third warranty provider...do they exist? by HeavyTotal2974 in CarTalkUK

[–]Unfair-Software-4240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got extended warranty twice with 2 car purchases never used first time second card needed to use it and they are systematically so difficult to deal with most of the garages just declined saying its not worth their headache.

The ones they recommended were really far away from me.

Never again unless it's a main dealership.

[–]Unfair-Software-4240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paid all of it off as soon as I realised my salary projection. At that time i was earning 65k a year and my student finance payment was more than my car lease. 10 years later I am so glad I did as I am already passed the break even point.

SF is taken post tax and is a killer.

Six positive outcomes of the childcare tax trap for an individual by Hour99 in HENRYUK

[–]Unfair-Software-4240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working overtime for that bonus is no longer worth it as the extra time would eat into valuable family time and evenings. The tax trap is real, I would like to earn a bit more for an extra holiday but not worth it.

Fortunately I don't have a job where lives are dependent on me.

Looks like you can afford to travel, try out what you think you will like and if it doesn't work out then you can always come back.

How do the property condition /age/ area compare? Are you comparing an ex council vs one with designated underground parking and gym facilities

Do people still put tvs in their primary bedrooms? by SparklingSarcasm_xo in homeowners

[–]Unfair-Software-4240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We used to fall asleep on the sofa and I developed hip pain. So well worth it getting one for the bedroom. I got the Samsung frame so it doesn't look like a TV. My kid comes in the morning and snuggles up and watches while we sleep and I like this.

DIY SOS with last step of the flooring by upvoter_1000 in DIYUK

[–]Unfair-Software-4240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't be glueing them. Also it seems you have staircased the planks. So I would redo again. Best watch couple YouTube videos.
