I am late to the party but could I be allocated a number please? I have a a large interest only mortgage (£202,123) which has to be repaid in 58 months. I have just started a new job and will be pulling out ALL the stops to get this done. Aim to save 75% of my salary from January and live on DH salary. I'll be doing some other money making stuff. My goal for the rest of 2018 is £2,000.

I'm on this!!!

welcome #61!

Wow, what a great thread! Can i be allocated a number please?
I have been a mortgage free wannabe for about a 18 months, although i didn't know the name until now...
My story: I'm 37.I took on a joint mortgage in Nov 16 shortly before i got married. Hubby had the mortgage for a while already so at that stage we had an expected 12 years left to clear just shy of £60000. We took a 5 year fix at 2.19%. I began plotting mid 2017 to start overpaying with the help of hubby, actually started in Nov 2017, and am setting targets for 2019 now ...

This is my history so far:
2019= £0/ £10120
2018= £2860 OP/£2400 (Jan-Sept £200pm, Oct-Nov £530pm)
2017= £200 OP/no target
2016= no overpayment/no target

In an ideal world we would like to be paid off 7 years early by the end of the 5 year fix in 2021 but currently expect it will be sometime to 2022 assuming nothing significant changes for the better or worse. Now i have found this/these threads hopefully we will be able to achieve it. I think my husband while chuffed with the plans will appreciate the break from my plotting!

Welcome #62!

#11 reporting in with an OP of £1004.03 for November, will add some more in a few days time when my monthly budget is done to take me to the next mini-milestone - getting under £65k. Just over at the moment.

Another OP of £689.69 for #11, making £1693.72 for November. I've done a bit better than i'd thought, so this one not only takes me under the £65k mark, but after a rummage around for a little spare cash it takes me to £63,999.99 :D

A lot of good achievements of milestones going on well done all :j

I'm aiming to be sub £120000 going into 2019 which I will be proud to achieve. Couple of years before I'll be into 5 figures but it will come with patience and perseverance. Good luck all. It's very inspiring and motivating to be part of the forum :beer::)
