Welcome to the Mortgage Free Wannabe thread for 2017 :D Many thanks to Lomcevak for running the thread the past few years. I've blatantly stolen the starting post from 2016's thread. ;) Mortgages can seem so huge and long-lived that it often feels pointless to make over-payments - what's the point in paying £50 off a £100k…

Please can we I join? I'd like to try and overpay £7k this year.

Think we have £292K left having moved in in January 2016 with a mortgage of £302K or something. Have 29 years left.

So long time no update. Down to £252,600. Been some serious overpaying.

Original 35 year mortgage: January 2016, £306,000
January 2022 : £198,000 (£30k saving pot split equally between cash and alternative investments)

January 2022: 2x £3k child ISA.
