    if it's not 'breaking rules'

    If it is then it's a rule I've not heard of. :)

    If it helps to get the mortgage paid off earlier then it has to be good.

    Total amended.

    Hello, can I join in?

    After 4 years of debt clearance I want to spend the next 3 years paying off our mortgage.

    Target for mortgage reduction in 2013 is £20,000. This is net reduction target and includes normal and overpayments, but not interest.

  • It's not just OPs, but is the amount I'd like to try to pay off my mortgage in 2013 - includes my standard payments and overpayments. Think this will motivate me more if it's not 'breaking rules', if it's OK....

    Hello everyone,

    Some very impressive targets being set for 2013, brilliant!

    I have now set my OP target for the coming challenge (and put it on the spreadsheet VoucherMan!) but may need to amend it later, we'll see.

    The challenge has, for the last two years that I've been a challenger, helped so many people keep on track with their OPs and, in 2012, played a part in the complete clearance of eight mortgages. It's too early yet to say what our final total of OPs will be for 2012 but our target was just over £1million and we are very close!

    Good luck everyone, you've come to the right place to support you in OPing your mortgage over the next 12 months. Remember, it doesn't matter how little or large your OPs are, the fact that you pay anything extra off is the key!

    I look forward to following the challenge with you all through 2013.

    Take care,
    Spigs
    Mortgage Free October 2013 :T
