I have just discovered this thread.  I am newly semi-retired and a newbie in the MSE forums.  I am reviewing my finances and am thinking about paying down my mortgage.  Am I too late to join the MFWs for 2020?  I am only going to be able to make modest overpayments but could aim to get the mortgage below 6 figures by 31.12.

Never too late to join Just let me know how much you're aiming to overpay this year, and I'll allocate you a number. 

Hi julicorn I am starting with baby steps.  I will set aside a minimum of £50.00 per month until December, starting in April with the aim of depositing at least £450.00 in the mortgage account by the end of 2020.

No 70 reporting an OP of £1503.58 after closing a savings account.  I had meant to OP it earlier in the year and figured now was as good a time as any.  Takes my total for April to £2037.75.  Thanks julicorn.

No 45 reporting in with a whooper OP for April of £3538.77. We cannot go on our holiday so I have thrown all that saved money at the mortgage! Let something positive result from the negative

Stay safe everyone, and thank you julicorn

If my holiday gets cancelled I am thinking of doing the same but it isn't until the end of August so I have a while to wait yet.

#3 reporting another OP for April of £400
AND my final payment and OP which totals £1000 paid today and means we are now MORTGAGE FREE 
I always hoped to manage it before I was 40 and I have, with 3 months to spare.
