    Car, Florida for 3 weeks, home improvements. Feck all to show for it now but sure I've never been one for living in the past and regretting purchases. Plan is for Mar, Apr, May & June: 4 x€510 will give me over 2K towards our spending money in Palma Nova, Majorca. ( It's a bloody beautiful part of the world ). Then, following that, I'm gonna up my mortgage by €300 per month and finish it before my 49th birthday. That's the target ! Current redemption figure on the gaf is approx 30K.

    I can almost taste being 'mortgage free', and it tastes good ! ;)

    If you back it, it will lose, if you don't back it, it will win.

    We will know if you did, by the result!!

    I'll have a look. By coincidence, week before last, did 7,11,23 on the bookies lotto along with 2 other sets of regular numbers, on lotto, plus and plus 1.

    €9 stake. Returned at a shade under 1000/1 for a 50cent stake. Boom ;)

    Seriously, if you seen my weekly take home, you'd struggle to believe how I managed it with all the other stuff that homeowners are gifted with in terms of monthly outgoings. I was earning more, well more, 15 yrs ago :(

    But hey, I've plenty of friends and I'm sure plenty here who are looking down the barrel of mortgage completion after retirement age, so I ain't complaining :)

    Glass half full!

    It's amazing how much upping your repayments even a little knocks off the term length.... good target to have it gone by 50 :)

    A mighty yoke. The other nice thing about them is, since the bank can't have you killed - yet - they throw various finance products at you in the hope of making an extra few shillin's back from you. :pac:

    They attempted to 'buy' me off the tracker 5yrs ago. Can't remember the details but they waved a carrot. Needless to say, I decided against it. Jesus, deviants !

    Oh yes, they'll chance that. Not in a fit, says I. But I'm talking about other products, credit-cards, various short-term loans, etc.

    That hasn't been funny since about 2006. A tracker mortgage is an amortised, secured loan with an interest rate equal to that of the ECB, plus a little extra for the lender in question. It is thus said to "track" the ECB rate, and hence the name. Now let that be an end to it!! :D
