I've had a lovely weekend here, slowly putting my bedroom back together after a thorough clean. I've moved some furniture and have been enjoying re-organising the wardrobes and drawers.
Its been quite enjoyable just to fold and sort the clothes when now I only have what fits, what gets worn and what fits in the space. The room feels calm and tidy and there is order instead of overstuffed closets and piles of excess 'stuff' that had no space to be stored. Today I have just the clothes that need ironing to do and then its complete. I quite enjoy ironing when I'm not in a rush to get it done before work, so in between work commitments today I'll iron a few baskets and then I'm done.
Mortgage Payoff:
I'll be exactly half way through my five year goal on 30th June.My mortgage balance should be $83,999 at the half way mark so I have some catching up to do.
My plan is to pay a full mortgage payment each fortnight on top of our regular weekly payment which would be three payments a month. I'll also put the income from my second job straight to the mortgage. It means a really tight budget but I'm going to do my best to stick to this plan. I got paid for my second job on time this month and have paid it all off the mortgage.
Well its Monday morning here, time to get started with the day and get ready for a day of work meetings. I had been doing some my day job work in my bedroom but I'm going to stop that as I just want to keep it peaceful and free of stress.

You have been very busy. How long do you estimate it will take to pay off your mortgage?
I'm aiming to have it paid off by the end of 2021. That way I would have another year to save hard and do repairs around the house before my five year goal.
Clearing up physical space also tends to clear up mental space!
oh definitely!
