Giant piggy bank

A question about : Giant piggy bank

I started the buying process for my very first flat back in August, it's still going through the solicitors and my hope of getting the keys by the time my flat rental is up at the start of Dec is slowly fading. Oh well, everything but the clothes on my back into storage and off to the patents I will go. Figured I may as well start up a diary now to keep track of things

So, for now, here's the mortgage offer

Hi everyone,

Found this site a few months ago. I'm now addicted! I've decided to post to help achieve 'the dream'! Hopefully mortgage free in 10 years or less. Would like to set up a spreadsheet but not sure how.

First step, in the long road to being mortgage free.

A question about : First step, in the long road to being mortgage free.

Hello all title=Smile long time no see! title=Embarrassment

I thought now might be a good time to start a new thread. I've been absent for a couple of years as we decided to put our house up for sale. We are currently considering whether or not to accept an offer from a couple who have viewed twice.

Can I dare to go on the MFW journey

A question about : Can I dare to go on the MFW journey

Hi there!
Have been glued to the screen of my tablet watching this forum for the last few weeks now and am fascinated. Would love to go on the same journey but have so many uncertainties at the moment that stop me from fully commiting to this.
In fairness I have been OPing my mortgage since day one and paid off 30k last year but that was mainly due to some savings maturing and I haven't got any more of these coming up title=Embarrassment

A question about : Mrs Trelfa's Master Plan For Trifle Towers

Hello there,

Yes its another MFW here with a brand new diary out of the packaging placed right at the top of the tread (well until someone else posts something :P).

A question about : Mortgage Free for a better life for me (and the family)

Hi all,

My husband and I have roughly Ј49k outstanding on our own house. About 5 years ago we threw lots of overpaments at this mortgage in order to decrease it but then decided that it was time to start planning for our old age and went ahead and saved hard for deposits for 3 BTL properties.
