Totals for online earnings the Mse way amounted to just over £95 in September. Not a bad start and certainly more than I expected. I am aiming for £50 a month, which over the 5 years of this challenge would give me £3000 of "money for nothing" which we can put towards travelling and doing exciting things once the mortgage is clear.
It's a good start.
Happy new month too...although because today is not a working day, my mortgage doesn't go out until tomorrow and I can't update the snowball until then.
Only one month now until I can remortgage.....can't come quickly enough!!!
Oh, and on the last day of September I failed. I bought 2 pairs of sandals in the sale for Abu Dhabi......0 -
You dident fail.
You just dident quite manage it!
£95 is great in month.
You are on fire

Haha I love that. You're right....I just didn't quite make it. On the plus side, it means I don't need to buy any in October!
I've scanned some books into ziffit to give that a try for the first time. I'll report back in due course but I do need to find an appropriate box to pack them into first!!0 -

Your 'free money' earnings are brilliant!Original mortgage £112,000 . Final payment due August 2027.
Mortgage neutral achieved August 2020 - 7 years early!!!0 -
When I think of what I used to do last time I was here, this is nothing! I'm happy with this level though and if I can get anywhere close to sustaining it, I shall be very happy indeed over the course of the next 5 years.
If only I'd kept it up in the interim few years!!0 -
Mortgage payment has gone out and signature has been updated. I now only need £114,913.98 to be mortgage neutral.0

Well done on all counts! And I'm sure you needed those interim years free of dfw/mfw, it's only fair

Hi
I remember you from first time round, welcome back
Your new diary is already inspiring me.
I also want to start looking at paying my mortgage off early once I've sorted out my remortgage etc
Can I just ask, are you saving rather than actually overpaying the mortgage?0
