Hello,
Thank you for reading my post.
I was just wondering what age you were or are realistically planning to be mortgage free at?
My friend has just finished her mortgage at 46! I hope this thread will inspire me to be more focused.

The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer - I was in my late 20s when I figured out what this meant.
I neither take or enter agreements which deal with interest. I dont want to profit from someone's misery.

To confuse things for you a bit more. I currently never plan on being mortgage free. Instead I remortgage once there is enough money built up in equity and reinvest elsewhere.0

Mortgage free twice 30 and 49. The second house cost 7x more than the first. If you buy a cheap house you will be mortgage free much earlier. It depends what you want.0

Been mortgage free twice, once at 31 then moved to a bigger house a couple of years later with a new mortgage that was paid off at 48
I know people who do exactly as above poster, remortgaging and investing, the idea that investments will outperform mortgage commitments has by and large been true but doing so doesn't give you that mortgage free feeling. I guess it's horses for courses really.0 -
Mortgage free at 40. Mind you, that was 25 years ago and meant a lump sum payment of £18,000! Those were the days. .#2 Saving for Christmas 2024 - £1 a day challenge. £325 of £3660

Aim to be mortgage free by 45 in 3.5 more years. If for some reason, we do end up moving house, it'll only be if we can buy it for cash as I am done with mortgages.Mortgage start date Dec 2015 - $64,655.00
Mortgage end date Dec 2045 - NOT!!!!
Mortgage balance - $4600.00
Business Savings $43,310/100k
Hope to be mortgage-free by end of 20231
