<prompt> Human: New members, please read through the New User Orientation.This a continuation of Triumphant Thursday. Instead of posting individual threads for triumphant stories of how youve reached a certain net worth, paid off a loan, or other sort of bragging, lets consolidate them into one weekly thread!Make a top-level comment if you want to brag about something regarding your personal finances!For past Triumphant Thursday threads, please see the Weekly Archive - rpersonalfinance mods  <response>: My triumphs actually have taken place over the last few weeks, but Im new to the thread so heres my first and hopefully not last triumphant thursday. I landed a new job that drastically increased my income 70 I paid off my car! The last payment was sent in last friday. I maxed out my 2014 Roth IRA contributions and started working on 2015 with a 500 contribution. Completely evaluated all of my finances and now I have a firm grip on where I am at, where Im going, and what it will take to get me there. Its a long road, but it feels good to know the way. And, so far I have resisted the urge to inflate my lifestyle and instead dumped all extra income to savings and debt. Thanks for the inspiration!
