Good Morning
I really really want to try and become mortgage free and make the last payment on my 40th birthday which is 3 years away.
I am going to try and use as much of my wages as possible to make extra payments. My wages are 600 per month but I will need to use some of that to use for living.
My mortgage payments at the moment are around 360 per month so with wages i can possibly pay off 800 in total each month.
Other than ebaying, car booting etc anyone got any ideas of what else I can do, what does everyone else do?
I will update my signature shortly with money made/paid off.
Any spare money will go towards the mortgage.
Thanks for reading x

Hi Moomie, a lot of people seem to do survey sites and things to bring in some extra pennies, while the old-timers board has lots of great ideas for saving money. But as you are on a very low salary, I imagine you are already pretty expert at making your money streeeeeetch!
Good luck with it all
