click here for easy updates click here to see how we're all doing

Welcome to the thread for everyone starting or continuing their MFW journey in 2011. :hello:

Hopefully many of us will want to continue the hard work that we have put in to overpaying our mortgages in 2010, and there will be those who want to start on their MFW journey - for all of us this is the place to be. :j

Please feel free to join our journey at any time - you can either:
  1. Complete the online form (please note it's not automatic, I update the spreadsheet when I get around to it :D); or
  2. send me a private message (PM); or
  3. reply to the thread (please give me a shout if it seems I've missed your post)
to be added to the list with your overpayment target for 2011 and then on a monthly basis your overpayment for the month and a year to date figure - including your MFW 2011 number please :D


There is no cut off point for joining the thread and the challenge (except the 31st December 2011 :rotfl: ) so if at any point this year you are ready to start working on becoming mortgage free please join us! Any overpayment (OP) target welcome no matter how small:money:Also, if you have a diary on MSE it can be linked to the first posts if you want, just let me have the link.

To see our previous successes, please see the 2010 MFW challenge and Zavarony's 2009 MFW thread that I shamelessly plagiarised :T

Good luck to us all!

    Need to send my final update for 2010 - I see you have set my 2011 target at 25k Cake...... hmmmmm, I failed this year (accidentally bought a new kitchen :rotfl:) but I suppose I had better pull my stripey socks up for 2011 :). That will more than clear the mortgage on this house and make inroads on BTL 1 :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
