Halfway there to 2008 Target

At the beginning of the year my mortgage balance was £21,700. My target is to pay it off by end 2009. This year I resolved to reduce it to £13,000.

With half the year gone my balance is £17,046. A reduction of £4,800. If I keep this up I will achieve my target.

Determination and some resolve will get you there.
