We have a mortgage of £61,000.

That's beside the point. Everyone has different expenses, so how long it would take me is not a useful indicator as to how it would take you.0

Stay at home mum to one child or six
Live in manchester or cornwall
Husband getting big pay rise next week or cut in overtime.
Smoker, drinker or saver !!
We are all different0 -
Perhaps a better approach is for you guys to have a browse through some of the diaries - there seem to have been quite a few similar groups of people drawing encouragement from each other - teachers, IT techie folk etc.
Is there anything in particular motivating you to want to pay it off?
Have you thought about doing an SOA to see what you could pay off comfortably?
Good luck with your plans.- Mortgage @ March 2008: £194,965 ; Lightbulb Moment: July 2011: £164,926; End Date: March 2033

Can you tell us a bit more about your circumstances, and I'm sure there are plenty of nice people on here who will.
Good luck.0
