The Mortgage Free in Three - Take 2 challenge (MFiT-T2)
Comments

fb, do you want regular updates from us or would you rather we only update just before the charts come out?
With the annual challenges, eg 2009 or 2010, I see the reason for monthly updates, but monthly for this challenge may be too often? It also takes a bit of effort to put the data into the charts too!
As it's a 3 year challenge, I thought every 3 months would be often enough, but what do other people think?
The charts and schedule is based around a chart every 3 months - I think there's a balance to strike - too often and people may not bother, but too infrequently and people may forget.
But, I'm happy to take updates for chart 01 for a while yet to see if we can fill in the gaps.
And the next chart is due to be published on 12th June - I'm sure that will be here before we know it!

Every 3 months seems good to me - makes it all the more exciting as you start to approach the 3 month date, and gives a bit of leeway if you have a bad month.
Love the charts0 -
