I wish I was an idiot :pinch:
I took the advice of the time and arranged a fixed rate mortgage term last september. Now I'm still paying 5%+ while everyone else who stayed at the variable rate or got a base rate tracker is now paying hundreds of pounds less than they were. :emo:
I also got fixed rate energy tariff too last summer, as advised, and now all their rates are going down now too. Great. :emo:
Yep, Too clever for my own good, me :pinch:
Still, I've got a £15k credit limit on my card even though I never usually spend more than £100 a month, and I always pay off the balance EVERY month, so I mustn't grumble I suppose. The only debt I have is the mortgage, and I'm also paying into a personal pension fund for my retirement.
What's the betting that comes back to bite me in the arse too. :(
