Hi Folks,
Just happened upon this website and been inspired by a lot of the activity and suggestions. I've decided to jump right in and kick off the challenges beginning tomorrow to get rid of the rubbish we (me, really) keep buying (and invariably throwing away after a few months of sitting in a cupboard).
We don't go ridiculously overboard and only really have student loans (probably £22k between us) and our mortgage (down from £100,000 6 years ago to £44,000 now). I'll have a wee shot of this SOA (whatever that stands for
) but I'm confident that by starting with a renewed sense of purpose tomorrow and with the advice from the many experts here, we'll go beyond my original goal of having the mortgage paid off by age 30 in July 2011 and get it done on or just before Hogmanay 2010 - needless to say, if it comes off, the drinks will be on me!
Cheers, :beer:
