Hi, number 105 here, with my usual monthly OP of £247.94 for May, which will take me a year to date of £1239.70 in op's.
I had contemplated an additional £150 payment now the government council tax payment has been received, but have instead decided to use it to pay for freezer/store cupboard top instead. especially with how food prices seem to be rising at the moment so used it for that as a bit of a hedge against future increases in food costs.
Well done everyone on their OP's so far. I have also noticed that this month payment should drop me down the next 10K bracket in my outstanding mortgage, so pleased with that!MFW#105 - 2015 Overpaid £8095 / 2016 Overpaid £6983.24 / 2017 Overpaid £3583.12 / 2018 Overpaid £2583.12 / 2019 Overpaid £2583.12 / 2020 Overpaid £2583.12/ 2021 overpaid £1506.82 /2022 Overpaid £2975.28 / 2023 Overpaid £2677.30 / 2024 Overpaid £2173.61 Total OP since mortgage started in 2015 = £37,286.86 2025 MFW target £1700, payments to date at April 2025 - £1712.07..1 -

cod3 said:#53 I've got news!
I started the year with a target of £3,000 (the balance of my mortgage)
Earlier this month, I overpaid £907.30
Today I phoned the bank for a FINAL figure and paid their calculated amount of £1,002.30
This brings my total OPs for this year to £2,896.75.
Add on my regular payments and minus interest - I am now officially MORTGAGE FREE!
Thank you all the lovely folk here for the inspiration and to @Julicorn and Martin. My family have saved so much since joining this forum but, more importantly, now have the security of owning the roof over our heads
