2021 Mortgage-Free Wannabes

Roxie

After a rethink earlier this year we decided to downsize.  Absolutely chuffed to say we got the keys to our new place on 11th June and have been able to clear the £44k remaining on the mortgage 🥳  

I’ve been on the MFW threads since 2017  after a lightbulb moment on here, it just hadn’t occurred to me that we could overpay and reduce the mortgage term.  We’ve cleared this 11 years early but even without the downsizing we were on track to clear it 7 years early, we have often kicked ourselves for the years of OPing opportunities we missed.  To anyone considering it, stop thinking about it and do it, the earlier in your mortgage term the better.  

Reading all your updates and seeing various members drop off the MFW threads as they cleared their mortgages early has been inspiring and kept me motivated along the way, a big thank you to all of you.  

For the final time, number 33 reporting OP of £44k for June, YTD £45k.
