40-45My dad was MF in March Just before hos 50th so I've vowed to beat him! I'm 27 now, currently paying a mortgage on my own but looking to move in a couple of years with my girlfriend, we both have well paid jobs (over 60k joint income) so should be able to afford quite a high payment/lower term. We'll be looking at getting a mortgage of around 150k using savings and the 40-50k equity I have in this house.0
