Hi esmth2039.

Feel free to join the Mortage Payoff Club since your balance of less than $50K is ripe for the payoff. 

I wonder what 2039 is about?  Retirement target year perhaps?  It seems too long to be a target mortgage completion given your balance.   :)

Cheers and congrats!

Huh didn’t see that thread at first thanks! That username was given randomly over 20 years ago and have used it ever since. But I’ll be 59 so could be when I retire or kick the bucket... hmm

^Retiring at 59.  Sounds like a perfect plan.  I want to do that as well.  :)

Gardo, had a bad month in June. We had to replace a freezer, lawn mower, and pick up tools for some projects, new tires for a car, overall poor spending habits... Didn't keep pace on the mortgage paydown.

Beginning Mortgage Debt This Month:  $55.0K
Paid Mortgage Debt This Month: $250
Ending Mortgage Debt:  $54.75K


Will hope to hit it harder in July. Good luck to you!

Hello all. I was waiting for our July payment to clear to join this thread from the higher balance one.  I want to keep motivated to stay on our plan to pay off the remaining balance by the end of next year. 

Here is where we currently are:
Previous Mo. Balance:  $99,360
Princ Paid July: $4,778
New Mo. Balance: $94,582


We will be paying slightly more in August due to it being an extra check month for both of us.  Those are may fav. months!

Ain't it a wonderful feeling to be in this group of less than 100K mortgage?  :)

I made the hard decision to put the payoff activity on hold until 2020.  The good news is that I will be saving and accumulating the same amount. This will be placed into a savings account to hopefully make a large payment January 1st. The reason for the change is because I have some risk right now and feel like the additional amount in the savings account is a good way to mitigate the risk.

Smart decision to use savings to your advantage (mitigate risk that may lead to incur higher cost).  Great job AnxietyFly!

Caught up this month to my goal and am now on pace to hit $48.0k remaining on 1-1-2020. At that point, I'll probably slow down on the pay-off and try to invest more into the market. Maybe I'll shoot for only $6.0k in principal paydown for 2020, rather than $12.0k.

Otherwise, keep up the good work everyone!

Starting Mortgage Debt:  £92,500 (I didn't want to do the FX, but I figure sterling counts)

Beginning Mortgage Debt This Month: £96,850 (this is August - haven't processed my overpayment yet)
Paid Mortgage Debt This Month :  £4,350
Ending Mortgage Debt : £92,500 (as of 30 September)

Other stats: This is versus a starting balance of £109,000 in January 2019, and an original loan amount of £200,000 (house value has since doubled). Monthly payments are circa £550, circa £180 of that is interest. We can fairly comfortably sink about £1,800 into it (tax-advantaged savings are on track).

MMM lit a fire under my haunches when I discovered his blog in mid-September, and I crunched the numbers on the mortgage, which is our last outstanding debt. I crushed debt for the past three years and now can start to swim free, so while the mortgage rate is super low (2.49% on a tracker, which means once the BoE cuts the bank rate by 25bp, it'll go down further), I abhor debt in all shapes, forms and colours and want to be rid of it.

I've always made slight overpayments - we already saved seven years on this 30-year mortgage, but with both our salaries pretty good and having avoided the usual large money sinks (ie children, cars, brand fashion, alcohol, gambling or drugs), there's a lot of free cash sloshing around the household, and I figured out that we can kill this debt in 2-3 years if we keep a tight rein on incidentals and don't get stupid about quitting our jobs too soon (we're both 44 and basically at peak earnings). And MMM inspired me to really speed up the process overall, so I've run a couple scenarios and the most optimistic means we kill this in 24 months, and 36 months would account for stuff like job losses or big renovations. My partner pretty much leaves financial planning to me but he's all in after I told him we can retire in comfort at 50 if we stay focused.

So I'm glad to be here with fellow travellers and able to talk about numbers because most people in my "real life" don't care.

I have officially graduated from this club - my balance is $49,999.00 as of this morning.
I plan to keep up the original plan and pay down to $48k by the end of the year, and then slow down in 2020 and invest more in the market.

Good luck to all, I'll be sure to keep up with everyone's progress.

Down to 83K.  Took a pay cut 18 months ago to take a MUCH better job so the balance isn’t going down like it used to.  DW has possibility of major promotion next month.  If it happens we can probably kill the mortgage in about 12-24 months.

Beginning Mortgage Debt This Month: $69163.34
Paid Mortgage Debt This Month :  $0
Ending Mortgage Debt : $69163.34

I just setup a second bank account for my direct deposit, we are going to attempt to live on one income while using my wifes direct deposit thats going to go directly into paying off this HELOC above.  The interest rate has steadily increased and is now currently 6.5%

The current plan is Income Tax return of about 2k will go on this HELOC
We will both get profit sharing bonus this coming summer of roughly $9k that will also go on this account.

Take home salary bi weekly after tax and 5% to 401k is  is roughly $2000 for me and $2300 for wife thats going to HELOC.   Im trying hard to make the mental commitment to try this.  Our first deposit will be in a few days.

Rough date to finish HELOC off would be end of Next January.

So, moving interstate hasn't helped the finances at all.  Current situation for July is:

Beginning of month: $90 900
Paid Mortgage Debt This Month: $ 3900
Ending Mortgage Debt:  $87 000

Note that this is still a loooong way above where I was.  And renovations start in 10 days time!  I'll try to report to keep myself honest.

So, 16 month later and renovations haven't helped the pay down of our HELOC.  However, a few updated numbers:

1st September 2019 - $ 99,000 owing
1st October 2019 - $ 99,00 owing
1st November 2019 - $ 88,000 owning.

We put our tax return (mostly) into the HELOC, hence the big drop in late October.  Hoping to put about $1500 into it each month from now on.  I will try to report in to keep myself honest.  Renovations will mean that some months go backwards as we pay for larger items.

Checking in for monthly accountability:

Starting balance: $77,069
Princ Paid Nov: $5,126
New balance:  $71,943

December payment should be similar and then a little bump in January as it's a 3 check month again. :-)

My wife and I threw our Xmas work bonus's at the project and found out that in July of 2020 we will be getting a huge one time pay for performance bonus of roughly 11K (combined) that im also going to throw at it.

Currently throwing roughly $2000 every two weeks at the debt. (Living off one income) however its tough right now with the holiday and some medical bills coming in.
