Mortgage Free in Three Yrs

Kaz2904

Why is it that we are so afraid of stuff like this? Why is it that people get so agressive about it when you say that you are overpaying?
It is a kind of warped society when it is more acceptable to be in debt than it is to try and pay off the debt isn't it?

FWIW I didn't have the bottle to do the article so you're very brave both of you!

On other news, I was scrabbling round looking for my phone bill and a cheque that DH has stashed and I found an envelope with £380 in it sitting behind my ginger jar. So I shall go and stick it in the bank along with DH's pay cheque which has been sitting there for 2 weeks grrr!
At least my figures have improved though!

...... having paid off my mortgage in 4 years and 2 months recently, and posted on here a wee while ago to tell you the good news, (thanks for all your congratulations everyone! much appreciated), Woolwich / Barclays have completed the admin and have just sent me the title deeds and a letter confirming I owe them nothing. Just arrived in this morning's post.

I'm sitting in my house, feeling so relieved - MY house, they cannot lay claim to even one brick of it any more!! What a great feeling.:D

This is what you're aiming for, guys, and I'll be cheering you on. :j :j

Mortgage free in 2010, what a party we'll have then

H,

Just wanted to thank Jillinoz and angelavdavis who broke cover in the Telegraph article :A (no seriously - I wouldn't have been brave enough to do it...Kaz's thoughts about aggressive responses also worried me!)

I keep very quiet about paying off the mortgage to almost everyone, although I suspect people will rumble that something's up when we do a downshift next year

Jillinoz, Angelavdavis - can you PM me a pdf of the article ? Want to keep it with me for motivation

Take care and enjoy the freedom

FreedomGirl
ps Congratulations GQ on getting that letter - here's hoping I'll be in that situation soon !!!

There's another thread on here with a link to the article, which works, I only read it for the first time today. Its great, and very detailed. How sad that this aggression thing is a problem - everyone I know is secretly a dfw,I think, even if they don't come on here!

I counted up my 20p tardis money box(don't ask dr who fans),and managed to get 80 pounds which I have put into the savings account to offset the mortgage.
So thats 80 pounds less that I have to pay mortgage interest on and in the end find to pay it off completly.
On another note I should manage to put another 200 in the account by the end of next week from what I have made on ebay.

Well done to every one who has paid their mortgage off I hopefully will be joining you in the next couple of years.

You know that they say about the Tardis being bigger on the inside that on the outside but £80 is amazing Amazamum!! Nice one.

Way to go, FNT! I'm just shutting down the computer (finally!) this morning - look at those figures coming down in your sig! Over ten and a half grand paid off, fantastic.
