That's a net worth in the positive though... right?
My "postive" is now being offset against the rented out flat - I know I shouldn't have these evil thoughts but sometimes I wonder (especially with mum degenerating mentally but insisting on her independence) whether I would be better off selling the flat, clearing the mortgage on the house and having the freedom to potentially rent a small space close to mum but keep the London base...- Mortgage @ March 2008: £194,965 ; Lightbulb Moment: July 2011: £164,926; End Date: March 2033

Yup, positively rolling in it :rotfl:.
Difficult decision Hurdler - but at least you've given yourself options :T.My "postive" is now being offset against the rented out flat - I know I shouldn't have these evil thoughts but sometimes I wonder (especially with mum degenerating mentally but insisting on her independence) whether I would be better off selling the flat, clearing the mortgage on the house and having the freedom to potentially rent a small space close to mum but keep the London base...A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
