I have been thinking about my year end bonus for the past couple of weeks and it is only October! At least I am not thinking of using it to buy my next plasma, but rather how great it would be to drop it off at citibank and pay down my debt! Not sure if this is better or worse?! Opinion?

I work in sales and we get monthly a bonus based on sales. Sometimes we make way less than we think. Luckily I budget off my salary and take the bonus as extra...my co-worker doesn't and has a heart attack every time we don't make a good bonus for the month saying she is broke now. I hate to be mean but it is just poor planning. Great advice. I work in sales and we get monthly a bonus based on sales. Sometimes we make way less than we think.

And bonus are certainly not in the picture... which is apparently good in a way ;-) Generally speaking, I find North American tend to spend money they don't have yet anyway :lol: My job is not steady at all but I’m used to assume I will get less money than I expect.

Clark Griswold is one of my favorite recurring comedy characters, but cousin Eddie is even better. I think Clark learned his lesson about bonuses. David: Thanks for visiting.

So true though - dont even think of those bonuses, as you really cannot depend on them until they are in your bank account! Thanks for the Griswold reference, that made me laugh.
