Overpaid next mortgage. £79,491 down to £27152
Changing focus for now
MFiT-T5 No. 70 £20356.19/£27506.08
Mrs SJ is a fellow 4 weekly wages person, and I concur that its a pain for budgeting. The 13th wage that i always hope will be a nice bonus to our accounts also seems to vanish into the ether, never to be enjoyed!
Mortgage Neutral Deficit: £59,185.53... Mortgage Neutral Savings: £11,039.15
MFiT-T5 #8 - £14,635 of £23,100 (63.35%)
1% Mortgage Challenge - £41.65 of £705
I hear you SJ!
I have been tinkering - saved £50-100 off car insurance renewal, £265 off next year's V1rgin contract and a quick review of mobile phones suggests that £200 saving should be doable for the next year.
Feels a bit like pennies from under a steamroller....
That's great
