A question about : Renting out your own home?

I was thinking about the 'Pay off your mortgage in 2 years' programme, and one of the ideas they seem to push is to rent out your own home, and to rent somewhere cheaper for you to live, and to put the difference into the mortgage.

A couple of them seem to have considered it but not really followed it through - is it something you'd ever consider?

A question about : Mortage V Pension

Should people only consider overpaying a mortgage if they can pay a decent amount in to a pension. Where should the priority lie?

I know this will depend on individual circumstances. I am approaching 42. Should I pay more into a pension now to take best advantage of possible growth or go more towards the mortgage where returns are easir to calculate.

Tricky stuff.

A question about : Get yourself a 'Mortgage Pig'

I decided a while ago that I really wanted my mortgage paid off. It wasn't very large to start with admittedly, but it wasn't coming down as quickly as I would have liked.

As the mortgage was one of those background constants that just gets paid every month without thinking about it, I figured that if it was in front of us and on our minds more, we might make more of an effort to collect more money to chuck at it.

So......I got a mortgage pig.

A question about : Hello!

Thought I'd get things going. Unfortunately I don't have a mortgage so this will probably be my last post.

I am renting by the way, I have not paid one off!

Good article, and very useful to link to when the next Don't pay off your mortgage Troll turns up.

Personally, it ticked all of my boxes and confirmed that my quest to pay off my mortgage was the right way to go.
