Ooooh, I'm already on the spreadsheet - thanks julicorn! Between needing to do a pretty major refurbishment on the house in preparation for our first baby that is due in July, and then the subsequent maternity leave, please can I reduce my target to £3,600 for 2020. That's £300 a month which puts us on target to be MF by 55 (ten years early, reducing our mortgage to a 25 year term instead of the 35 term we started with). I think our 2019 target would prove overly ambitious!! And please can I keep my previous number (99)MFW2023 challenge #99: £1090.11 / £1,000 MFiT-T6 (Jan 2022 - Jan 2025) challenge #99: Reduce mortgage to £400,000.
