Ok 10 payments left to go till MF day (April 25th 2022 last payment). Looking forward to getting into single figures. Savings pretty low at the moment. Hopefully start the rebuild in May next year.6

Not long now! Good going! It’ll take no time to rebuild the savings.3

Five more days to next scheduled mortgage payment, then I’m on 9 months and counting.
i reckon I will be left with £1000 of savings when I get to MF day in early May 2022, so it’s tight but will then slowly build some savings for emergencies. I’d be happy to get to £5000 in an emergency fund.4 -
Ok now officially 9 monthly payments left to go till MF.6

Excellent news! Good luck with the final 9 months 😃Mortgage Balance as of September 2025 £11,700
Starting Mortgage Balance (June 2019) £72,000.
Aiming to be mortgage free by my 40th birthday, June 2026!3 -
Amazing!
I'll be in the same boat when we pay it off with a much smaller savings pot. But it should be easier to build it back up without the mortgage and op payments each month. Still feels a bit scary!Original MF Date January 2035. MF Date February 20223 -
8 payments left to go, back at work shortly after a great staycation. Lots of decisions to be made next year regarding work/pensions etc.8
