    8.5yrs I took out an endowment for to repay the mortgage on the flat, but 5yrs ago we moved to a house and its repayment. So I have been continuing to pay into my endowment and hopefully in 17yrs it will pay me out money that I can put away towards my retirement - this is my thinking. I realise that it may not make the money originally needed which was £33250 but hopefully the market will increase again in several years and it will be near the amount caluculated.
