Hmm - mine is now 100% offset so I guess paid it all off in the 8 years I have had the house including 30k spent on improvements. I'm 38 now. Unfortunately I need to move somewhere bigger so it will be back to square one plus as we all know the 'compound' bit means that having a mortgage will cost me a lot of interest whereas recently all has been capital

Hubby and I have just finished ours. I am 48 and hubby is 51, it is a lovely feeling now need to start saving to help DD on the property ladder.

I'm 31 and my hubby is 25. I called the mortgage company yesterday to start overpaying by £80. Hope to be mortgage free by 40, a bit ambitious maybe but it's a start.Probably the most sensible thing I've ever done...

I am 38 and have about a year left on the mortgage, if all goes to plan. We still have a good life though and manage a couple of foreign holidays each year, we just watch what we spend in other areas.

Well done all!

Used to be around 54 but because of the last 4 years has increased slightly to 117.

I'm 35 and OH is 42 and we have been mortgage free for a couple of months now over 10 years early so very pleased especially now with all the worries some friends seem to be having even making their minimum payments

only actually started our mortgage just over two and a half yrs ago, I am 29 and my OH is 42. We have 23 yrs to go :eek: making my OH 65 and me 54 :eek:

but we started late, got married, had two kids, bought house all in space of 3 years! :eek:

Feeling old and behind with things now that so many people seem to have theirs paid off already!
