What specific question do you have or what issues are of concern to you?
Main concern is wanting to get rid of mortgage at this point in time, hopefully next month once i have a disposable €5k im going to pay this off mortgage aswell and knock another few years off. plan is to be mortgage free in 3 yrs, i know maybe seems crazy but I hate having loans /
owing money. Even have a big piggybank in the kitchen and everytime I have ANY change in the pocket it goes in there - this is an extra fund thats going to be paid off mortgage (currently €350 in there!)
Realise I should have more of a slosh/emergency fund so might add to this in time.
once mortgage is erased plan to invest money that would have otherwise been given to bank in intrest payments, and hopefully become more comfortable in the long term.
