in Mortgage-free wannabe
I just wanted to register that I love this board. Me and my hubby want to be mortgage free in 10 years. We're gonna do it with the help of this board. :T

Hopefully I can post in with our progress. Current mortgage £200k. Net debts £140k.

    Just wanted to record that our mortgage has just gone below the £200k mark, it's £199K. It was £250k taken out in June 2002.

    Me and my OH try to imagine our debt as bricks of £500. That way our goal is not £200k but £500.
