Over the past couple of years i've been on a mission & that mission was to pay my mortgage off early.
Well as of yesterday that's exactly what i've done.
I've put in extra hours at work, worked away as much as i could (get extra for that) & it's all payed off for me
It's a really good feeling to have.
I've had to sacrifice holidays & other things that i would have liked, but now i can do all these things & while i'm still youngish (43)
I would advise you to do the same
I'm gona save for a big & very fast toy next & enjoy that whilst i'm still youngish

Well done Pete. Will you buy a telly now?

I suspect they'll put me in a hole in the ground (after wheeling me away from my desk) before my mortgage is paid off..

[Del Boy]

Good stuff mate, nice one

I've got that one sorted. My wife has a well-paid job and we live in a council house.

At present.... our mortgage is roughly £950 each month....before the interest rates were reduced it was £1400.. ....It's little wonder I can only afford a shagged out Omega... :-/ :-/

I hear interest rates are about to rocket Opti. The bank of england base rate could be as high as 7% in a year.

If you need to sell quickly, I will look upon your plight sympathetically.

Well done Pete. Will you buy a telly now?

Only if they put something on worth watching

As some of you may recall, i've been layed off twice & you could be wondering how i've acheived my goal!!
Well i had savings that weren't returning anything like what i'd liked & so i payed off a lump, i've chipped away at it as much as i could, the more i payed them the smaller my payments got, but i kept increasing my payments & giving them extra that i've earned.
It's supprizing just how quick it all happens once you set your mind to it

I know exactly what you mean Pete. It almost becomes an obsession.
