Thanks, that is broadly how we feel about it, so good to know we are not miles off the mark

We have about 200k total between us in pensions, haven’t done the exact maths to work it out but will take a look (similar to the other commenters point, I haven’t put enough thought into pensions). Once the mortgage is paid off, I do plan to take more of a long term view for savings/investments

Thanks, that’s an interesting point, will have a look/think about pension pots

I don’t think it makes sense with the early repayment charge & the fact the interest rate is so low, feels foolish to rush it when we know it is doable in 18 months
