    Totally agree. We have always bought the most expensive house we can afford and then we have always enbarked on a rigid overpayment exercise. It's worked like a dream for us and has helped us jump up the housing ladder several rungs at a time.


    Really. Why haven't you mentioned this before? :rotfl::T

    Probably thanked because you quoted it again.

    I would, but that's asking for ridicule and it would bump the thread.

    He's mortgage free as well, though how I know this is beyond me because we're not allowed to discuss our personal finances on here. :rotfl:

    So, you do know the rules (but don't obey them) !
