<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 search the Weekly Archive  <response>: This year began very badly for us when our renters had to break lease and we decided to place it on the market instead of finding new renters. Paid mortgages, taxes, insurance, etc. on two homes since January and weve learned so much about saving. Stopped eating out so much and frittering money away.House sold on Friday! Credit cards paid off on Monday. Only debt left are my student loans and theyre at a manageable amount and rate. Never thought Id be in such a good financial position considering I was born into poverty and went bankrupt in 1997. Yay me!
