Everytime I balance my checkbook, or even just bring my ledger (all of which is electronic, BTW) up to date, I get a deep understanding of just how broke I am.  On a posative financial note, thanks to the bounty I&#8217;m getting for dragging B.K., kicking and screaming, into Corporate America, I&#8217;ll be able to finish paying off my car in September instead November (Yes, my company pays a &#8220;bounty&#8221; to employees who bring in qualified workers for open positions).   As I look at what I just said, I realize that it&#8217;s not a real financial gain.  I mean, the bounty <strong>is<\/strong> a real financial gain, but whether I use it to pay off my car, or just use the bounty for whatever I would be using the money I&#8217;m not puting into car payments between September and November makes no difference to my total short-term financial outlook.  Regardless, I think the moral boost due to owning my car and having one less check to write every month will be a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>Word on the street is there may be another tech support position here opening up.
