    Progress not Perfection
  • I'm 49 today.
    I'm wondering how feasible it would be to be MF before I'm 50.
    I think I could do it, especially now DH is gone (still don't know what happened in court - he was arrested again last Monday for threats and breaking bail...........)
    I think I'll be able to OP about £700 at the end of this month, and more than that next month.
    I need to get on the OP calculator and see exactly what I would need to do but it's very tempting to try.......
    PO xx
    :D2010 MFW Challenge No. 112 Mortgage paid in full 27/08/10 I was MF!!!:D
    But now I'm not - (Joint) Mortgage £104704.
    New MFW target £5000 overpayments by 31/12/2105 £400/£5000 = 8%
    SAVINGS TARGET - £25000 by 31/12/2015 £13643/£25000 = 55%

  • The egg calculator says i need to OP £800 a month to clear it in a year. I think that's doable, especially as I could us the Premium Bonds for £2000 of that. Hmmmmmm ........ food for thought........
