  • we've only gone and done it - we're officially mortgage free!

    the MF boards (and in particular the MFi3 threads) have been such a huge inspiration and motivation to strive for mortgage freedom.  Thanks to all of you who have shared your stories and ideas, and cheered others on from the side lines.  The power of the small, every day financial wins has really helped our snowball grow and gain momentum.

    Here's wishing those of you still battling your mortgage beasts the very best.  Onwards and downwards friends! 
    Congratulations, must feel awesome!!!! We have a little over seven weeks to go, and it’s seven weeks because we don’t want to pay the ERC, the money is already in the bank earning more in interest 😊
