Feeling positive!  Good to see progress on mortgage and school savings particularly.  

If we don’t go for private education then in 2yrs may consider putting some of what we’ve saved into mortgage. Fortunately our lender allows 20% overpayment each year.

It’s a new year so thought I’d update where we’re at  

As ever we’re spending too much on holidays but the mortgage is still going down (chopping away with overpayments) and the pension pot up  so guess it’s going in the right direction! Given the jump in school fees I think the pot will be our emergency fund after all… 

All the best for 2025!
