Just got paid for December today and...... No Bonus!!! :( For the first time in my 9 years of working this is the first time I've never had a bonus. It hurts a bit because I thought I did very well this year with regards to my work.

Glad I'm not the only one who didn't get a bonus though :D:p

Got my bonus yesterday, twice my monthly salary

I'll spend some of it, and save a majority of it.

I'm interested to know how you used your bonus. Did you do what most people do, i.e. spend it? Did you save it?

I always put about 85% on the bond... The rest we spend on stuff we need/want

Some guys I work with, use their bonus to pay off credit card debt.
 
we have the option of putting a % toward pension - which I do.
After tax amount, will throw most at the bond and blow the rest on...

Installed 2x aircon units, spent some on the rug rat and the missus doesn't want anything... so will pump the rest into the bond!
 
Got mine today - literally first one I've ever received. 200% of monthly.

And 40% raise.

Good times. :)

Congrats! Good strategy - I personally give myself a rough ratio - I allow myself to increase my spending by 5-10c for each additional net dollar earned.

:) Well I'm sure there will be some subconscious spending creep...

Still..if savings ends up being vaguely on par with plan then its a win.
 
Got mine in June. Bonus was 64% of annual cost to company (770% of monthly) and a 12% increase.

Put half the bonus into my bond and half as a deposit for a new car :)
