<prompt> Human: 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!  <response>: Ive never had crippling credit card debt, but have been carrying a balance of between 1500-2000 for the last 5 years or so. Today, the balance is 0. Got a promotion last month along with a 25 raise. my first paycheck at my new salary gets deposited on the 15th of this month. Wifes car is soon to be paid off, and my student loans are about to be attacked. hard. life is good at the moment : -knocks on wood-
