I'm so pleased to read that you can see the light at the end of the mortgage tunnel beanie. Why don't you enter the number of months you have to go in your signature and then you can reduce the figure each month. I'm doing this with my months to retirement. I love amending it each month and seeing it go down!:)Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟
