Paying it all off in April. I CANT WAIT

Paying off the rest of the mortgage in full in April. I can't wait. I'm also a wee bit nervous as the entire savings pot is almost wiped out, but who cares. Our home will be ours 100%

    Well done! It is a great feeling, and definitely worth savouring. 

    With the mortgage gone, you can direct the payments into building your savings back up and once they are back at a comfortable level, you can focus on saving for a comfortable retirement. 

    I notice from your signature that you will be mortgage free about four years ahead of when you expected! Well done again! 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    Thank you. 
    We have over paid for years so have lost track of how early it will be repayed- but I think it's by 13 years in total!!!
