Yay! :j:j :T:T
Just remember little steps become big steps become huge leaps, and you'll be there in no time.
100k is a huge psychological barrier to get under, next you'll be itching for it to be starting with an 8!!

Well done you. Onwards and downwards...!Mortgage free 04/03/2025. Thanks to this site and lots of overpayments bit by bit.
Next stop: house repairs, holiday fund, replace our very old cars, more financial security/early retirement savings.🤞0 -
