Is this all this scrimping and svaing really worth the effort of reducing your mortgage term, life is too short to be worrying about saving a few pennises and pounds here and there.

Obviously to those who do it, there is a point, which is painless ways to save a bob or two to get rid of what is basically debt. This is just a place for people who do think it is worth doing to share their thoughts on the matter.

If you want proof it works, I pay several thousand pounds off my mortgage through doing just this. Other members on other boards use it to pay off credit card debts or to pay for christmas presents without it costing them real money. Each to their own and all that.

A valid point, but on the other hand, life's too short to be paying a mortgage when you don't have to
