Welcome to the Mortgage Free Wannabe thread for 2014.

This is the thread for you to join fellow MSE forum members in setting a target for overpaying your mortgage in 2014 and sharing your progress over the year.

The list of those taking part and their targets for the year is at the bottom of this post. You can check progress in the 2014 MFW spreadsheet on Google Drive. If you can't view it for any reason, then you can also download the spreadsheet on Dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/l/pSua2VMj5WxXkQziQUci0s?

Once you've signed up to the challenge just post in this thread anytime you make an overpayment with the amount and your allocated MFW number. I will then include it in the next spreadsheet update which I will aim to carry out at least once a week.

You can join the challenge anytime during 2014 and any overpayment target is welcome.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Best of luck to everyone taking part!

Those taking part and their overpayment target for the year can be found below:
