Mortgage Free in Three Yrs

catshark88

Hi Everyone,

Just a note to say that I have met my challenge amount! Mortgage at start of challenge was £273k and is now just under £221k, a difference of approx. £51k.

We won't be able to keep that pace up (sadly) as it included some premium bonds and a small PEP but we'll do all we can!

I am going to set myself a new target of getting to under £200k by the end of this challenge. It will be hard as we are getting some work done to the house this year, but nothing ventured...

Happy New Year to you all.

Hi,

I was just reviewing the list of all the MFiT challengees - more than 130 and counting !!

And there's a spin off MFW newbies 2008 thread, too.

It's fab, and I can't quite believe just how much this MFW thing has taken off. Haven't got anything in particular to say apart from "wow", and I'm so glad I'm part of this.

OK - will stop rambling now

Looking forward to the updates, TallGirl

I'm not very experienced at PMing but I thought I had sent you my figures:o...anyway, they are as follows:-


These are the figures I sent TG. I can't be MFi3 so I hadn't realised I could join in. We hope to be free in 5. My figures are
1.4.07 £182,557
1.10.07 £168565
1.1.08 £162827

This last figure might change yet. My (our?) quest is to pay off £75k in 3 years. We have an endowment with a min pay out of £35k with Norwich Union due to pay out in 2012, so our aim is to be MFi5....

Hope this is the right info. Thanks for my quest number :j:j:j:j

Go onto user CP, and the new window that comes up will have a panel to the left and your signature options are in there.

Good luck

Hi TG - I promise I haven't forgotten, my £50 from Quidco is in my bank account as we speak. But am waiting for my £20 from Ebay to clear too. As soon as this happens will make a payment, ask for balance and will PM you!

Got a letter from Nationwide today. My last £500 overpayment at the end of Dec 2007 has pushed my monthly mortgage payments down to £663 approx. That's over £20 off from the start of the year. Hoping to put in another £500 in February as I need to pay of my Xmas spend first!

So I'm on track to take £18k off my mortgage in 3 years although I'm hoping to take off more than that.
