And so it begins...

What would you do if you were mortgage free?
Stop worrying about bills for starters.
Instead of eeking an existence from one wage packet to another you might actually begin to do the things that you like doing - and could be good at (if only just in your own opinion!).
Wouldn't society benefit hugely if we could all spend more time on productive things - like raising money for charity, working with the community, being more active culturally, promoting health and exercise events and being useful when we could!
Instead, we (the mortgage slaves) are trapped for an eternity by the banks. It will take me another 32 years, paying most of my wage to the great unknown, because 'the market value' dictated it thus only four years ago.  Truth is, I'm one of the lucky ones, with a wonderful job and a wife at work - God knows how people are coping who have lost jobs and are still expected to pay their crippling load.  BUT LEST YOU THINK THIS IS A RANT AGAINST MORTGAGES.... this is a challenge blog, not a poor mouth or charity exercise.  I will attempt the impossible this year by setting up events, business ventures, creative exercises and more, maximising my potential to clear a path in the woods...  The sky is the limit.
