    What you need to consider that for the vast majority of MFW's it begins with small little steps, its very rare someone pays their mortgage off in a year? The vast majority of peeps on here are looking at halving their mortgage term and therefore ensuring their later life is more secure! As someone has posted further up it can begin with as little as £5? It is all about putting these small firm foundations in place that will benefit you later. By even writing on this forum proves the intentions are there?

    'Bite size chunks' is a good call! maybe start off by overpaying half a payment each month so over 12 months you actually 18? You will soon see a difference. When you are struggling and low on motivation, simply logon and read your posts back and you will see how far you have come! It will be worth it believe me.
