Righto, so as Ed says later (ooh I can time travel!) One can't rebrand oneself on MSE. However...
I do feel - and partly because of the experiences of another MFW who was getting somewhat robust criticism for not being hard core enough - that, well, I'm not nearly hardcore enough.
So here I am. 43. Mortgage due to expire when I'm 55.
I am going to try for getting rid of it by 50. Including a move to a smallholding as that's what I am aiming for (no s h i t!).
I am planning a LOT of storecupboard challenges and a LOT of fiscal fasts.
Here goes!

    Waving hello to reincarnation :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • Ha ha Alex.

    The feedback is
    garden too small
    garage too small
    where's the drive?
    Kitchen too small.

    They are true, false, !!!!!!? and false IMHO.

    It's impossible to rebrand yourself on MFW, too many people figure out how you are :rotfl:
