    That's not the case with many people on the MFi3 challenge (on the MFW board) mewbs.
    Point taken. But I would think they would be in a minority of together organised people with 'spare' cash. But hey I really don't want to argue so I accept your graph.

    edit: er spreadsheet I mean.

    I don't think we've ever 'argued' have me mewbs? :)

    I do accept that the spreadsheet does represent a group of people who are commited mortgage overpayers, so is probably not indicative of the UK as a whole, but the flipside is that people don't have to join the MFW board (or the MFi3 challenge) in order to repay their mortgage either, who knows what's going on outside our forum?

    I don't dare. But there was that time when I first started and you said I must be a sockpuppet.

    How right you were ;)

    lol, I think I might have said that I initially thought you were !!!!!!?'s sock puppet, but that I quickly reconsidered when I realised you had a sense of humour.

    Actually, I've been accused by more than a few people of being you, or you being me or us both being the same person, jeeze, this sockpuppet thing is confusing.

    But then I have also been accused of being just about everyone on this board. :cool:

    I have no idea who mewbie could be - his/her sense of humour is too sharp to be any other poster I could name.
