Suburban Chimp was an eco-blog at one point, but I came to the conclusion that the planet was pretty much doomed and it was too late to do anything about it. I give the human race a few hundred years left at best. So with that in mind and with no decendants to worry about, I’ve decided that it is all about living for the moment, living for me and focusing on what’s really important in life, that being financially independant enough to enjoy my life completely and utterly!

I figure the best way to go about this is to pay off my large £200,000 mortgage as quickly as I can. Therfore this is going to be my focus- to generate enough cash to pay it off. Simple.

I’ve taken a small bit of cash and invested it in stocks and shares to play the market and to make (in theory) a quick return. Here is my story!

 Disclaimer: I know nothing about finance, share dealing, investing, banking, paying off mortgages etc. What is written on this site is nothing more than my finance diary. I am not a financial advisor, not qualified as one, not licenced as one, so you read this blog and act on anything written in it at your own risk and liability. Suburban Chimp and it’s authors cannot be held responsible for anything that happens.

Sorry for the heavy disclaimer- but finance is no laughing matter and you all need to know where you stand.
