  • Hi Juliecorn, 

    can I join please? I would like to pay off 1% of our mortgage which is £1500. I have not tried anything like this before so I need to devise a plan.

    Of course, and signing up to a challenge like this is a great first step :) I've given you #82.
  • Hi Julicorn, I asked to be included but as I posted in this year's thread we have now paid off the mortgage completely so no 95 is up for grabs. Thank you Porridgecat

    Hi Julicorn

    #57 reporting in for 2022.  I am happy to keep that number.

    At the end of 2021 my Mortgage Neutral (MN) pot was £31.9K and my mortgage balance was £86.4K.  Giving a deficit/net-debt of £54.5K.

    For 2022 - my target will be deposits and growth in my MN Pension pot of £36K.  This sum not counting my monthly mortgage payments. In combination  this will see me very close to having a dedicated pot equivalent to my mortgage balance by the end of the year.  I will report monthly on my 2022 contributions to the MN Pot (my OPs as it were)

    Current target for Mortgage Neutral is Feb-23 with a real squeeze and a bit of luck and ongoing Covid caution keeping my spends low it could be 2022.  

    Thanks :triumph:

  • #62 here requesting a place for 2022. 

    Setting myself a target of £4,500 to be added to our mortgage neutral pot.

    Happy with a new number if it tidies the spreadsheet up.
    MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......

    #53 reporting!  Thank you for keeping my space for 2022

    The balance of my mortgage today is £3,000 on the nose so that will be my target for 2022.  I would love to be able to be MF by my birthday in April, but that would be a push!  Today we are doing a freezer and cupboard audit to help save a few quid for the target.

    Happy, healthy 2022 to you all  :)
