The 2014 thread can be found here


click here for easy updates click here to see how we're all doing

Welcome to the thread for everyone starting or continuing their MFW journey in 2013. :hello:

Hopefully many of us will want to continue the hard work that we have put in to overpaying our mortgages in 2012, and there will be those who want to start on their MFW journey - for all of us this is the place to be. :j

Please feel free to join our journey at any time - you can either:

1. Complete the online form (please note it's not automatic, I update the spreadsheet when I get around to it ); or
   
2. send me a private message (PM); or
   
3. reply to the thread (please give me a shout if it seems I've missed your post)
   

to be added to the list with your overpayment target for 2013 and then on a monthly basis your overpayment for the month and a year to date figure - including your MFW 2013 number please


There is no cut off point for joining the thread and the challenge (except the 31st December 2013 :rotfl: ) so if at any point this year you are ready to start working on becoming mortgage free please join us! Any overpayment (OP) target welcome no matter how small:money:Also, if you have a diary on MSE it can be linked to the Google.Doc if you want, just let me have the link.

To see our previous successes, please see the 2012 MFW challenge, 2011 MFW challenge, 2010 MFW challenge and Zavarony's 2009 MFW thread that I shamelessly plagiarised (along with this text from previous challenges) :T

Good luck to us all!

Temporary (maybe permanent, not sure yet) change of management.

Spiggle's busy at the moment so has asked me to launch the 2013 MFW.

Not sure if she will be taking over or helping out in the future but for now you're stuck with me

If anyone would like to keep their 2012 MFW number, or would like a specific number please let me know. Otherwise it's first come, first served.

The list in post #3 shows which numbers are taken / available.



One or two small changes on last year's chart.

Please let me know if you'd like a link to your MFW diary adding.

I've also added some coloured 'progress bars' - green = on target, red = falling behind. Unfortunately I couldn't think of any suitable comments to add so any suggestions welcome.


While I'm happy to keep the chart updated you're not likely to get much comment from me, so hopefully Spiggle will continue with some of her encouraging chat even if she doesn't return to take over the updates.


Also please note that your target (in the right hand column) will not show up next to your name until your first op has been recorded.

Oooooo thanks for doing this, I have joined previously and made some headway, then as usual life got in the way, sp for 2013 I would like a more conservative attempt, so can I join with the plan Ifi repaying by £2,000 in 2013 please ?

froddington

Thanks for doing this VoucherMan - I'll be in again for next year.

I'm No. 103 at the moment, but will be happy with any number!

I think my aim will be £4000 OP in 2013 but that may change as I am planning to move house!

uzubairu

It's that time again.
Thanks Voucherman.

My target is to:- Completely clear our £13,200 mortgage.
I reckon that the mortgage will be around that figure at the end of this month. I will fine tune nearer the time.

Please can I have No: 19 again (I think it brings me luck), as it's my number in MFiT-T3 challenge.

lemonpopsicle

Can I have a number please? I hope to overpay by £2.5 k in 2013 on a £31k mortgage.
