I would have had it paid out by now if it weren't for taking 18% out each week, trying to max out my 401(k) contribution. I finished paying into that for the year last month and now I'm closing in on the social security. Three more weeks should do it if the available overtime holds out. I usually don't get there this early but they kept waving all this money in my face this year and it was too hard to pass up.

You're right, it's like getting a big pay raise for the rest of the year...then we get to start all over again in January.
