FIRE Through The Mortgage - MF by 55 - LATEST

Firegirl

Redundancy is coming my way! I'm hoping December this year! Will find out in a few weeks for sure! Exciting times ahead!!!

Firegirl

Updated my sig targets. I missed my targets this year but when I get redundancy and go contracting if all goes well I can smash the mortgage in 6 years. I'm being really optimistic here and in reality it won't happen because I will have to save it in my business account encase I'm out of work- but in my head I can offset it against my mortgage! I'm getting way ahead of myself here. Haven't even left yet or got a contracting job lol

Sig updated again this month. It's great seeing the mortgage creep down slowly but surely!

I'm gonna do a big batch of ebaying soon! Watch this space!!!

Hope you have better luck than me - don't seem to be selling much at the moment, although sold 2 in the last 2 days.

2 more items out the house and ££ in my pocket.


Not heard from Lil, maybe he's just that - living the good life.

I've committed eBay crime and forgot to post an item! I confessed and said I'd forgotten with no excuse and that I'd post tomorrow! I'd bought a toy for £1 and sold it for £7! Wish I'd bought 100 of them now! Hope that wee profit doesn't get me a bad mark against my name!

Never done that - yet, I always post same/next day, not that it gets you any extra brownie points.

My heart always seems to sink when I have a message, might just be a special listing, info etc, but always think, Oh no, what now. If you find any more toys for £1, and sells for £7 - let me know but make it PM, don't want an influx of sellers on it :rotfl:
Long time ago, I listed an item that usually sells for the £2-£4 mark, and the bids just kept going up, ended around the £20 mark:eek: thought, I'm going to have a non-payer here, there is no way someone is going to pay that. How wrong was I.

Firegirl

That sounds great AFK! I noticed the toy I sold was on for a ridiculous price. Some people must just try their luck sometimes too! I think you just need to be lucky.

I've just listed about 10 items so fingers crossed for them!

Firegirl

Anyone else tempted by a 10 year fixed rate mortgage? There are some really low rates around!

A_Frayed_Knot

Think I would be tempted, had I a mortgage of 15 years plus. But would need a great deal of thought. Hate commitment you see, and so much can change in those 10 years, so my answer would be - No.
