Christmas Bonus

What do you do with yours?
My dh and I spend our entire Christmas bonus on Christmas and feel this is what it was intended for.

Our bonus was so little last year that I spent it all on Christmas. I don't know if we'll get one this year.

If I got a significant bonus, I'd save some and spend some.

Re: Christmas Bonus

when I would get one (SAHM now) I would take half and put it right into savings and stocks. the other was to pay off a bill or two and then to buy myself something sweetChat Icon

My DH's bonus is done the same pretty much. 1/2 goes directly into our portfolio and the other 1.2 goes right into savings.

Re: Christmas Bonus

DH gets nice ones and 90% goes into our house fund - we use 10% of it for fun stuff.
My jobs never give them. Well one job (the biggest communications company in the world) used to give us like $50. Gee Thanks.

I spend the entire $10 stop and shop gift card my job gives us. Maybe I should be saving it though? Chat Icon Chat Icon

I used to use CCs for all Christmas shopping and then immediately pay it off with my bonus. This year I did a Christmas Club, and there was no bonus.

Re: Christmas Bonus

Usually we bank it all. Unless there is something we really, really, really want. Like last year it was a new TV. So we put our bonuses towards that. Otherwise, we save it.

Re: Christmas Bonus

If we get a bonus it's paid out in installments. We usually put that money towards our IRA's.

Re: Christmas Bonus

This year it will be going to my credit card which I bought all my christmas gifts with. Last year, I believe I saved some and spent some.

I do something different with it every year, depending on what I need it for.
