Can you pay karmatic debt in advance?

I can't wait until "Cars" comes out on DVD because I am so sick of watching "Over the Hedge" non-stop.

The idea of letting your children choose their own path in life is thrown out the window when your three-year-old declares they are going to be either a doctor or a Walmart cashier when they grow up.
