The Mortgage Free in Three - Take 6 challenge (MFiT-T6)
Comments
-
Hi all, thank you so much for sending through your updates! I can't believe this 3 year challenge is almost at its end.
There's been some great progress, but also don't worry at all if you've not been able to get close to your goal - there's always the next challenge, which I'll be posting in the next couple of months at the latest.
Here is the latest update.7 -
Ahh - sorry, late update from me. I have accidentally put on the form that i am number 32 but i am number 31.
I have hit my goal, which I feel proud of but it was down to lots of overpayment early in the challenge and very little towards the end.
I have been saving like a trooper and hoping to be able to fully pay off my car early next year so that will free up more money to throw at the mortgage
Total Debt May 21 £20,490.44 DEBT FREE DATE 29/7/22
Mortgage balance May 21 £177,096.19. Now £143,070.41
Mortgage free date. At start of sole mortgage = July 2042
2024 SAVINGS FOCUS - get rid of the car finance. £12,706.25 PAID OFF
2025 Savings Focus - 33.3/33.3/33.3 split; savings for house renovations (bathrooms/garden/kitchen; whichever collapses first), save for a family holiday (probably our last one!) and paydown/offset the mortgage. Total pot = £4238.563 -
