OK so that maybe slightly optimistic but you have to dream big! I’ve been reading these for a while and decided it was time to go public instead of lurking; hopefully I can keep up with it and keep motivated. I have a mortgage which is not huge but I still have one. Originally £80,000 in November 2015 and as of tonight…

Just made an overpayment of £101 so the mortgage is now £16, 570. I also got an interest rate reduction which has taken a bit off the payment. Will be waiting for Martins 0% balance transfer card recommendations in January as my deal ends in March. The mortgage is currently the only thing that charges me interest so it makes sense (to me at least) to concentrate on that balance. Off to meal plan and budget for January 🧮
