2019 Mortgage-Free Wannabes

try_harder

Hi

Could I join please?

I will set a low target as we have a lot of expenses next year but Id still like to make my mortgage a priority too and keep it on my radar rather than just letting it tick along so a £1000 over payment target over the course of a year is doable hopefully and is better than nothing.

Because it is such a small amount considering the large amazing targets I have read on here I did think of not joining but I thought if I did £1000 every year throughout the course of my mortgage it would actually be a huge amount in total so small steps and all that

Thanks

Hi julicorn

Thanks for running this for 2019

I am happy with number 33 and will stick to £5000 target again as I just scraped it together for 2018 and am not expecting any windfalls during 2019 to boost it higher.

Best of luck to everyone for 2019 challenge, Roxie.

Thanks for confirming your target!

Hi Julicorn,
I’ve already signed up but need to add my target- we’re gping to push for a cracking £4500 overpayment in 2019. This will be very tough to achieve with our budget etc but something to aim for

So....

#20 Kittenkorst- 2019 target £4500

Thank you :beer:

That's excellent, thank you Kittenkirst

Thanks Julicorn:beer:

Yes please from #157. My target for 2019 is to reduce my mortgage by £25k:eek::eek: This will be a mix of standard monthly repayment, the interest benefit from my offset account and savings into my offset account. It's a massive stretch but nothing ventured and all that!
