I am finally debt free!!!!

Earlier this month I made a Discussion explaining that I dropped my debt down with my dad to a bit over $500. I have been owing him money for quite a long time. It was a bit over $3000 and I paid off what I could here and there over time.
Due to these stimulus payments, I have been using that money to help with paying off my debts. I was explaining to my dad a few days ago that every time I started saving money for myself, I still felt like it wasn't mine because I've had this debt over my head. So I was never really satisfied with "my savings."
So when I realised that these stimulus payments will be going on for some months, I decided to just grab that money as well as what I have been saving and just give it all to my dad. And since then, I've been paid again as well as earning it elsewhere (selling things) and I am so over the moon to report that I am finally out of debt. 
I'm so happy because any dollar I make / earn / find etc, it's officially mine to keep! To save! I can finally put money away that is mine and mine only. I will be saving for a place of my own one day, more driving lessons, a car, random things I need / want, putting some away for emergencies and as well as some stashed away for "going away." I plan to go off somewhere for a day or two with a friend for relaxation when this virus has become less severe.
I hope everyone is well! I have been on here but not a lot due to being tired and busy. But I think by now you know I always come back but as always, I apologise for late replies! They WILL get done I can promise you that.

@VivaLaDani13 It's at the university, more or less the same job I've been subsituting in for two years but better title, fixed posistion and higher salary. So once next week's done (grading, grading and grading) I'll celebrate by getting that burger I've planning to get for ages.
There's lot of talk about the stimulus money for shops and buisnesses here. Not enough control with who's getting it, but for persons who need it, it's a lot of control and it's really slow.

@Torunn Oh my goodness! CONGRATULATIONS!
Sorry you are stressed! I'm happy that you are happy though! May I please know what new job this is? Only if you wish to share.
And no worries at all. And that's exactly right. This money is needed by so many right now.

@Torunn oh I see! Thank you very much for explaining. Again, congratulations! Funny enough, I was wondering a few days ago if you had that burger yet! 
I got myself a burger that I REALLY love so much and you came to mind. I hope you can get it!
I do hope things can get in more control of who is getting it and if needed, gets it quicker as I can only imagine how financially tough it is right now for many.

Are you receiving stimulus money for several months in your country? This is really great.
Congratulations Dani, I am so glad that you are now debt free. From now on you can forget about how much you have to put aside to pay your debt. Everything you get is YOURS!!!

Very good! Now, I hope you can save money. It's like a tin off isn't it? Me too I like being debt free. Aside of my monthly expenses I've only one credit card payment I pay in full every month. I don't care to have much debt.
