OODAL'S New Mortgage and the need to pay it off

out_of_debt_at_last

Good Evening MSE land

I Have been reading and posting for a while but never started a diary apart from a paper one!

Myself and my DH have been working to be debt free and finally managed it last July.
The next thing to do was to buy our own place so with saving and some inheritance have got a big enough deposit to buy our Own place instead of renting, the Mortgage will be 82,500.

The reason i am starting this diary is to keep us out of anymore debt than our mortgage and to over pay our mortgage as much as possible.

So this is my journey to have a mortgage and to pay it off early.:T
