I don't think life after mortgage will be too different...our monthly payments are only 475 (actually, our monthly payments are £41! But I OP to keep it at what it used to be), and we will be intending to buy a slightly bigger house in 3 years or so, so i will be just redirecting the 475 to a limited access savings account!
Bit boring! But I dont think i'll lose the frugality!
