    Oh I am so pleased for you. That will be such a relief for you once it’s done. 😊

    I echo others in saying please keep posting here. I want to know what life is like ‘on the other side’ of mortgage hill! 😉

    I love the sound of your life Fortune.  Spending a bit more time together, doing healthy things and sewing!  My idea of heaven - I've a long way to go but I'm following in your wake :smiley:

    ps when I became debt-free, it was a strange feeling, sort of 'what now'.  Of course what now was becoming mortgage free, so definitely keep us posted as to how it is.
