2019 Mortgage-Free Wannabes

#106 here reporting an early August payment of £2,601. This is, for me, a rather exciting moment as it brings the total amount owed just into 5 figures with £21,339 paid down since the start of this challenge. The spreadsheet now indicates 49 months until it should reach a zero balance with (only) 26 months to go until the balance is fully offset against emergency cash savings. As the MFW 2019 target is now reached, I would like to increase it again to £28,000. Today is a good day! Thanks,

August total: £2,601
2019 total: £21,339 / £20,000

Well done iselm! brilliant news for you. Isn't this addictive? the more you pay, the more you want to squeeze a bit more (well I do!)

#43 augusts op is £1025. Feeling very impatient to get the last few thousand paid off.As we are nearing the finishing line it has felt like a hard slog and still feels like we will never get there. I know we will though. This challenge is definitely keeping me going. Thanks julicorn and everyone on here

Julicorn could I amend my OP target from £11000 to £12000 as this will be enough to clear my mortgage. #43 Thank you

How briliant to see lots of challengers changing their goals because of brilliant dedication, reaching milestones or getting towards the end of the MF journey, it's a huge motivation for us all to see. :money:

#45 here checking in with my usual little amount to remove the cheeky odd numbers when the interest is added, so £20.43 today to kick us off for August.
I'll be back with my usual mid-month update when the normal payment and OPs go over.

Keep up the good work everyone and a huge thank you to julicorn for the consistent updates on the spreadsheet.

No 70 with an OP for August of £219.00. Thanks julicorn

Wow, feeling as motivated as ever reading everyone's updates, brilliant progress being made!

#95 reporting an August OP of £50.

Hoping that a small increase might be possible from next month, eeek we shall see. Finances are super tight at the moment with work ongoing on the house, and a baby due in a matter of days. Must keep reminding myself that every little thrown at the mortgage really does help.

#44 with first small over payment for August £19.00

Number 90 with an August over payment of £40. I might not get much more this month, depends on Prolific really, as I’m going to concentrate on my savings for a couple of months
