  • Being mortgage free in your 50's is the choice I made and have never regretted, and not having to pay £1000 a month when you are out of work is a win win.

    I love this thread. It seems to be full of the same breed as me. Extend term, keep payments low and build savings, pensions and all else. Then when ready, pay everything off in one swoop!
