Got some bonus family payments that get paid once a year of $1022. SO altogether we have put $1613.05 to the mortgage plus $510 minimum payment which makes the new balance 113,463.26.The Mortgage Free in Three - Take 2 Challenge (MFiT-T2): #58 - Goal: Get to AU$50 000 by 12/12/12Current balance: $84 6932011 MF Wannabes: #102 - Goal: Overpay mortgage by AU$15 000Total paid for 2011: $2253.160

Interest went on on the 25th July which makes the new balance $113 970.
We are selling some jewelery next week and will get $1500 for that. We massively overpaid for them in the first place so we are selling at a loss... but the $1500 is better in the mortgage than in the cupboard...
This means by the end of August we will have almost cracked the $110 000 barrier...The Mortgage Free in Three - Take 2 Challenge (MFiT-T2): #58 - Goal: Get to AU$50 000 by 12/12/12Current balance: $84 6932011 MF Wannabes: #102 - Goal: Overpay mortgage by AU$15 000Total paid for 2011: $2253.160 -

Another 2 weeks have gone by! The rates the weeks are going, this mortgage will disappear so quickly. I did some rough and ready figures and it should be paid off by January 2013 at the earliest - mid 2013 at the latest...
Old balance: 113 970
Minimum payment: 510
Extra payment: 608
New balance: 112 852
I won't get the money for the jewelery for a couple of weeks, that will be another $1550 off the mortgage when I get that... (the extra $50 is for a ring that is a bit damaged)
We have now paid off 16.03%...WOO HOO!The Mortgage Free in Three - Take 2 Challenge (MFiT-T2): #58 - Goal: Get to AU$50 000 by 12/12/12Current balance: $84 6932011 MF Wannabes: #102 - Goal: Overpay mortgage by AU$15 000Total paid for 2011: $2253.160 -

Just thinking out loud - if you think you could hit January 2013 at a push, the mortgage free in three take two challenge end date of 12/12/12 is only about 3 weeks earlier.
Would be fantastic if you could clear your mortgage by the end of the challenge!

Hi FB,
Yes I have thought of that but the Jan 2013 date is the absolute earliest unless we start living on peanut butter sandwiches...I am expecting it to be mid 2013 in reality...
We will see how we go...
