After being in this challenge for the last few years I have bowed out now as I decided to divert my money to pension/savings with my final "normal" mortgage payment due in September this year.
These threads and the MFiT have been a great support in keeping me going on the MFW journey, so thank you all, and I look forward to the day when I can claim to be MF at last!What goes around comes around.....I hope!0 -

I'm much better diverting to my pension as well which is why I have reduced my amount ... but the habit of slinging money over to the mortgage won't go till its all paid up
Good luck with your new plans 0 -
