    I'm 46 and there's 17 years left on our mortgage, we owe £49000 or thereabouts. But we have overpayed some, and we will have it cleared long before time allowed.

    Mortgage free 04/03/2025. Thanks to this site and lots of overpayments bit by bit.
    Next stop: house repairs, holiday fund, replace our very old cars, more financial security/early retirement savings.🤞
