Mortgage-Free Wannabe

A question about : I wanna be mortgage free!

Ok, so I've been on the debt free forum for AGES now and appear, thanks to the lovely Martin Lewis and the people that use the forum to have paid off nearly all my debts. Just the mortgage to go now.

However, I can't put money to paying off the mortgage because I am doing my teacher training and don't have a job lined up for September yet. And my hubby is a full time student, though he does work too.

A question about : Do you go for a reduced mortgage term OR pay more off the mortgage we have????

Hello, wonder if anyone has any suggestions on what is best. We're in a position where we can pay quite a good amount back on our mortgage per month, but when we come to renew the mortgage next Jan do we just opt to reduce the number of years or do we carry on paying overpayments as we are now?

HELP!!!! :confused:

A question about : Mortgage-Free (soon) advice please

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated as am new to all this.

A question about : To Pay off or not pay off?

Evening,

A question about : Paying mortgage off

I cut a long story short, I like most on here want to pay my mortgage off earlier than the original 25 years. I'm 7 years into a 25 year term and currently in a second introduction rate that finishes in Oct 2006. I'm sure (but will check) that I can not overpay during this period so am currently paying what ever extra cash into a high rate ISA in which my wife is doing the same (with her ISA) and then come Oct we intend to pay a sum off the mortgage with the savings.

My questions are:-

A question about : Mortgage-Free Wannabe Welcome and Explanation

Welcome to the new Mortgage Free Wannabe board. After watching the popularity of the Debt-Free Wannabe board which focuses on mutual support for people who want to get rid of their debts, I thought it would be fun to try the same with mortgages.

A question about : Natty's Kicking her Mortgage in the Pants Diary

Yesterday whilst posting on another's diary, I realised that 6 years ago - this month - I joined MSE (although lurked for a good year before that).

So all in all, I have been on MSE for a good seven years which should have been time well spent hammering down my mortgage, naughty nattypants! Today is, as they say, the first day of the rest of my life so what better way to start than kicking my mortgage habit into oblivion.
