    Hi, can I join please? We’ve just moved and increased our mortgage amount and term, now to start clearing it off! 
    I have no idea realistically what our target should be, we’re still trying to figure out our monthly finances after job changes and increased utilities! 
    I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one.

    Hi Julicorn #57 - Reporting back as of 31/03 - sorry been a bit quiet.  My approach (as an older poster with quite limited OP opportunities) is using my pension pot to build up a Mortgage Neutral pot (DIY offset, with tax and company contribution advantages)  
    • I have added (/overpaid) an additional £4314 since Jan 2021
    • My normal mortgage payments are £5230 since Jan 2021
    • I am now £92K away from being Mortgage Neutral
    • Current target for Mortgage Neutral is Jul-23.
    It would be fair to spread the overpayments equally between Jan-March or lump it all in March - your call :smile:
     
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine
