Popular Post Rds1983 Posted May 23, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 Judging by the week I've spent in the new village it appears that the majority of local women are a lot more attractive than where I used to live. Which is nice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mjmooney Posted May 23, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 My streaming head cold is in retreat, the Villa finished the season with a win, I've got tickets for my first gig in months, there's a lamb stew in the oven and I'm on my third beer. That'll do. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've treated it as a tax on my wages for the past 10 years and finally it is coming to an end! Having studied 2 full degrees, I had a large debt but now that the payments are ending, I suddenly feel like I have a pay rise . I had this moment a few years ago and it was glorious. I was lucky that my student loan wasn't that big, but it still took me 10 years to pay it off. And I did overpay which was brilliant. Because not only did I get the news that I'd paid it off, I got a few hundred quid back as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like a £7000 a year pay rise for me. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely minimum of 25 years left. I reset mine to 25 when we moved 3 years ago. The wife had a loan for her car which expires this summer, she says she’s gonna pay it towards overpaying in the mortgage so that should shave some years off it. The plan is to pay it off in around 16/17 years which puts me 55ish and mortgage free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 300 months left to pay off as we've only just moved. My outstanding mortgage literally tripled this week. Good thing we'll likely be moving again in 5 years or so.

Xela Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 18 years left on mine.... although i'm in a lucky position that I could pay it off if I needed to. I prefer the buffer of having the available funds though plus the interest rate on my mortgage is very low. I appreciate I'm in a good position. The benefits of not having kids! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
