Just paid 40k into 73k mortgage which was due to end in 16 years time.
Should get paid up by 10 months, much earlier if shares come good.

I earn a reasonable wage but not huge. Lowish cost lifestyle ie low cost car, booze from supermarket not pub. Also lodger money helping out. I cannot recommend enough the benefit from lodger money, in fact the house was specifically chosen so as to accomodate a lodger with minimum disruption.
Oh, and no kids help. It's understandable that it must be much more difficult for people wwith children to overpay on their mortgage.0 -
