I did that for just over 2 years between leaving my job and drawing the company pension. However it was more independently frugal than splashing the cash.South_coast said:Oh, I so want to be able to select this as my answer!Mortgage Free November 2018

In cheerier news....
We're now a quarter of the way through 2025 (😱), so how am I getting on with my aims?- I've hardly had any UPF (am also feeling myself getting even more militant on this one, thanks to a copy of "Ultra Processed People" I picked up recently for 50p - for a hardback book!)
- I've done lots of running
- I survived dry January (not done quite so well since, though 🙄)
- I've been swimming 4 times
- I've reduced the net credit card balance by over £7k since deciding to make it a priority
- I haven't binged on cheese 🥳! Although my promised date of Easter is coming 😀😀😀
- The thought of the bread and butter limitation means I have not eaten boiled eggs once 🤣!
- I've got the money ready for the LISA at the weekend, and will be ditching the final Santander account at the same time 😀
