<prompt> Human: Heres an update from my previous postWell, guys! I did it! I am now debt free for the first time in 12 years! Today was pay day, and I sent my final car payment in! Honestly, waking up this morning I felt like a kid going to Disneyland! For way too long Ive had to deal with the stress and insecurity of being in debt. Ive gone through tough times in my life where I wish I could have afforded the time to properly care for the situation, but the chains of the lender prevented me. Today those chains are broken!Ive been following Dave Ramseys plan, and though its not for everyone, its worked fantastic for me! Heres a graph of my original credit card debt fading away:And heres the latest graph of my car loan fading away the last payment hasnt posted, but Im just too excited to wait:There was a bit of a hiccup in MarchApril when I had to get some dental work done, and then pay around 2k in taxes.In March I also started giving monthly a portion of my income to an orphanage in Zambia. Id encourage everyone who has been blessed in finances to give. Ive almost funded a new playground there, and the thought of 800 orphans enjoying that playground makes me smile. I have so many fond memories playing on a playground, its wonderful to pass it on.Since my last post, Ive found the hardest thing for me is to stay focused on the goal. Since then Ive gotten a girlfriend, combined with random taxdental expenses, it was hard to stick to the budget. But for the most part I did, and here I am.Thank you, rpersonalfinance, for keeping me inspired every day! Thank you FPU for great lessons on debt and giving! Thank you Netflix and Youtube for a whole bunch of financial documentaries! Thank you financial blogs! And thank you library for free books!Thanks guys! Now its time to fill up my emergency fund! Look for an update in 6 months! :Until next time!EDIT: I might not be able to respond to some replies until a little later. Im just running to the firing range... and bringing my last car bill with me. :DEDIT2: And heres my latest budget for all who are curious.  <response>: I dont see retirement savings in your budget. How much are you putting away for that?
