SO, I still woul like to join, but since the post above (which only focussed on the main mortgage) I have decided to include the sub account as well
So as of today I have the follows situation:
M1 £170,206.00 - Jan 2038, and my fix ends Dec 2023.
M2 70,760.36 - March 2038 and my fix ends March 2023
My current OP schedule (which changes each month) has M1 paid off in June 2030 and 2 in June 2027.
I want them both gone by the time my daughter starts high school (Sept 2023). Im currently predicting a combined balance of £149,194.77 at that time so I need to find some money from somewhere!!!
As well as paying this off I am investing and bumping up a private pension....:eek:

Mortgage is currently 187,380. With current OPs I am due to finish in April 2031, so need to find some more to get into the Club :T
My aim is to finish by Dec December 2025...… (in an ideal world it would be December 2023 when my current fix is up, so in my head I am aiming for that.)
Let's do this!

Thanks Kev2009, it's a tall ask, but im going to give it a go. I have most of my pot filled up, EF for house, EF fund for personal and £16k for expenses should anything happen work-wise, so im set to go. In reality its most likely going to be when I hit 55 (Dec 2035), but that's fine too. I just want to stretch myself. :T
It's just me and DD these days, and I'm currently finishing off an extension too, but the end is in sight - we are at the furnishing stage now
Anyway, confession time - it's almost 4 years as she starts in Sept 2023, so im giving myslelf till then :rotfl:
Good luck on your journey tooo! I shall watch with interest.

This is our decade people!! I couldn’t stand leaving my end of year balance at 65,021.70. So paid another £21.70 off it to finish the year on £65,000.00
Daily interest is now down to £3.72 which is great as it was double figures when I started in 2000!
Officially have til sept 2028, but have fixed until end of March 2024, with an aim to then have 14,000 roughly left to pay. Hoping still to clear this in aug 2025 ideally all being well.
Looking forward to seeing us all hopefully be mortgage free in this decade hooray!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 -
I’ll sign up please. We took out a £250k mortgage over 21 years in 2013 (original MF date of 2034). Balance now stands at £91k and have set a target to clear on or before June 2026. Thanks,0
