I am biting the bullet and adding myself as a mortgage free wannabe - first time I have visited this part of the forum but feel that now I need to start looking at paying down my mortgage. I am 31, single and childfree, and own a flat in a relatively expensive part of the country (Bristol, so not London prices thankfully but heading in that direction). I'm on a repayment mortgage and there isn't an issue with making the payments, but I'd like to start increasing the amount I pay towards them. This isn't my 'forever home', but the more I pay down on this mortgage the easier it will be to buy my forever home somewhere down the line.

Today/this week is about doing the research and figuring out what I can pay back on my mortgage and where I can make cuts in my budget - am sure that there is a lot to learn in this part of the forum! I'll add a conservative target of £250 extra this year, hope that that small amount is OK! It's possible that I'll receive some family money this year, part of which will go towards the mortgage, but I won't count that in my target as that feels like cheating...

Welcome! You're #130

HI Hiddenshadow! Just checked spreadsheet and I must have said £250 for August, when I meant July. This means:
£250 for July and £750 for August
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience (#117)

No worries, it was probably me fat-fingering it in the wrong field.

If it's not too late in the year can I please join in?

Partner and I are aiming to over pay £4,000 by June 2018, so I guess £1,600 by the end of the year.

- Cheeky OP of £40 for August (was supposed to wait until September but couldn't resist the urge to OP) :rotfl:
- 1st OP for September made today for £331.92

Thank you

Welcome! You're #131.

No #112 reporting in with another OP for September of £650 taking me to £950 for the month.

Could I increase my target to £5,800 for the year please? Have looked at our finances and can manage extra monthly OP's now. Thanks!
