A question about : Gone Tomorrow

Have been readiing this and various other Financial independence forums for socertainlyime for ideas and motivation.

A bit of background

Live in North England
Married
second child on the way

Took out a self cert intrest only mortgage in mid 2007 of just over Ј200k, fixed at 5.4 % for 5 years. Looking back it wasn't the best financial decision i ever made.

We've been obsessed with making overpayents since day one, and have tried to live frugally

We both have decent jobs, but the wife is part time since children came along, so progress slowed for the last couple years.

Anyway barring any great disasters tomorrow is our last mortgage payment. It certainly hasn't been easy but am glad we've done it

Best of luck to everyone on here in achieving your goals
