    A well thought out plan. Good luck.

    Well done for starting. Good to see the debts reducing and will be good as you see each disappear. I've been where you are - it's a slog at times but doable
    Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
    1) MFW Nov 21 £202K now £174.8K Equity 32.77%
    2) £1.6K Net savings after CCs 14/8/25
    3) Mortgage neutral by 06/30 (AVC £25.3K + Lump Sums DB £4.6K + (25% of SIPP 1.2K) = 31.1/£127.5K target 24.4% 15/8/25
    4) FI Age 60 income target £16.5/30K 55.1%
    5) SIPP £4.8K updated 29/7/25
  • That's a good repayment amount your able to make each month and hopefully you'll see it come down and make you motivated to find other ways to make money
