Roxie

No: 78 with May OP of £100 (total for year £1380)

Massive congrats to bournefree who is now mortgage free :T

Hope everyone who becomes mortgage free will let us know to inspire the rest of us mortgage slaves.

Thanks Roxie, in my case, my excel spreadsheet gave me massive encouragement - just chipping away seems like hard work month after month, but then you look back over a few years and see the immense difference.

I totally agree with this - I'm mid-slog with the mortgage (five years of making OPs with four years to go), and my spreadsheet keeps me going each time I start to feel like the monthly OP is getting me nowhere. Right now it shows me as £43,561 ahead of where I would have been if I hadn't started making OPs five years ago, so they all build up to make a serious difference, and i'm on track to pay it off nine years early. Might make ten years early if I give it a push

Hi Hiddenshadow,

Please may I a) join in for the rest of the year and b) could you allocate a number for me. I'm back for round 2! Though with a slightly gentler approach and target than last time.

£11k for the rest of the year is the target. It feels good to be back on this
board. Turns out I'm terrible at saving and much better at paying down debt but I did have a lovely few months mortgage free.

Thanks in advance!

It's not too late to join is it? I haven't done this for several years (I helped run the 2011-2013 (?)) MFW spreadsheets and it really helped me stay focused. Therefore could I have a number allocated please?

Those numbers add up to £987.02. I've put them in the spreadsheet, so it should be up-to-date.
