New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!0 -

I'm glad too so many people are joining. And hopefully in not too long we'll all be on the Mortgage Free Wannabe Board (then probably all back here for a bigger house

It's a shame there isn't a 'graduation' thread like on MFW...like how long it took to save, how they saved, any advice, when they completed etc.0

As a relative newbie its great to see even more people joining in!
A quick update from me. Had a bit of a splurge/release from saving over Christmas but now its back on my 'penny pinching plan'. January is going very well so far so we hope to pop a bit more then normal into the pot
I've updated my signature for all to see.
Happy savings to you all!Started saving January 2011
