wow, amazing rate for next few years. lucky man.

Mad thing is, I could have taken a 10 year option but thought 5 would be enough for things to settle down....Bugger!

It’s not his fault the tv companies don’t give him enough time.
He could do with less froth. If the show is about pensions stick to pensions. Drop the news you can use and the comments from viewers section and the flirty flirty crap with Angelica and if it needs two shows, which I think pensions do, then do two shows.

Pretty much sums up TV overall. The decent stuff is crammed in 3 minute slots and then the rest of the programme is mostly nonsense.

I'm surprised he hasn't got a decent YouTube channel to be honest.

At 1.25% I'd have locked in forever - how much better could you expect things to be?

Going to draw down some pension and clear it when the fixed period ends.....planned exit strategy!

I'm a huge fan, as he's the reason my mortgage is fixed at 1.25% until December 2026. I just happened to be listening to a radio slot he featured in and he was warning of big interest hikes in the offing. Love you Martin

Us FOC’s with mortgages paid off and savings love these interest hikes, between 5% and 6%, lovely.

To balance the point I’d love to go back to when I first took out a mortgage and be 29 again, youth or money? The former all day long. When I look at the path of life there’s a lot more behind than there is in front.

Just off to Santander myself to shift my ISA to their new ones announced yesterday. Worth the 120 day penalty on the existing dogshit rate of 1% or whatever it was. As you say, time to make hay in the sunshine of more normal interest rates

How long do you have left on the mortgage and when do you expect to retire?

 

[Millo]

This bloke really gets on my tits....(although the actual idea behind the programme is OK)

Anyone else can't stand him?

I agree, he's so irritating. I'd rather lose money than watch or listen to him.

It will be around 16K when the deal ends in 2026, but due to divorce and University for my 18YO daughter (she goes this Sunday).....currently a disappointing, but not unexpected, 66!

Nice you can afford to
