Parking Lot Watch

We interrupt today's regularly scheduled Flashback Friday to bring you a special news bulletin: Parking Lot Watch 2009 has begun. Our bonus checks were deposited this morning into our checking accounts, and that can mean only one thing: this weekend, you can bet that the economy in the 'Ville and surrouding areas will most likely be highly stimulated.

In case you're a new Faithful Reader to TWIT, I'll give you the 411 on Parking Lot Watch. Each year after we receive our bonus checks, we keep our eyes open to see who is the first co-worker to pull into the parking lot in a new car. Some friendly side bets are also placed among co-workers as to who we think will be the first to get a new ride.

Before you even say it, no, Puddin will not be an active partcipant in Parking Lot Watch 2009. My goal this year is to pay off all of my #$%*ing credit cards and become totally debt free; that means no car payment. Maybe next year. But I'm in no hurry for a car payment, and right now in my life, a new car really is not a priority anymore. I'm happy with the BMW and Blazer [as long as they continue to keep running].

We all need to be using income and bonus money to pay down our debts instead of buying more, more, more. WTG, Puddin.
