Thanks you.

Hey, I'd love to take part this year please! No previous number. Target for 2018 is a whopping £30,000 please, got to aim high right!
(Technically ours is for our house rebuild not overpayments this year, but we took less on the mortgage when buying the property to do it this way round to try to save on the interest and force us to do it in a year and not over the 20 year term of the mortgage so hoping you'll still let me be a part this year)

Thanks

Welcome! You're #140.

(For the record, I'm not picky about what people are doing with their challenge - paying off BTL, saving for deposits, saving for extensions, overpayments. At the end of the day it's all money going towards housing/being debt-free, so whatever's motivating for people works for me. )

Hi,

Please could you add me to the 2018 challenge?

I am not sure of my target yet. I am at the last stages of selling my current property for a more expensive one. But it may all fall through over the next couple of days.

I am part of the 2017 but don't mind a different number.

You're still #25. Feel free to post whenever you've decided on a target.

I did this a few years ago, and after remortgaging this year, I feel it's about time I did it again. However I feel it'll be a challenge, I now live alone, so it's only me paying the bills, on top of that I'm trying to top up my pension as I only get the minimum from my employer. Add to that trying to create an emergency fund, plus I would like some money for myself after the usual bills. I find it all very daunting at times but that is life right?

Anyway, give me any number except 13, and I'll set a goal of £400. I wish it could be more, but I'm feeling squeezed as it is and unfortunately will have to start small.

Welcome, you're #141.

I'd love to join this thread please - I hope to overpay by £6k in 2018, although since we are also planning on starting a family I may have to reassess this! I can't wait to be part of this.

Thank you xx
