Got my quarterly bonus with my paycheck today. An extra 364 dollars.
I most likely wont get another bonus till
about this time next year because our store is being turned into a supercenter and the construction is hurting sales. I can hope though. The nice thing is that when the bonus will be quite a bit bigger when the supercenter is all finished.
I usually use bonus money towards my vacation fund but I have it pretty well funded for right now and I have more important things to put the money towards.
I decided that I really should have had my home already paid off or closer to being paid off than it is. So I'm going to
put a lot more effort into getting rid of the mortgage. Thats always been one of my goals but it seemed like I had lots of time. Time has a way of catching up with you and passing you by.
I'm also saving up what I can for next years IRA contribution which I want to put in $4000. There are a lot of other things that I would like to save up or spend money on too, but the Mortgage and the IRA are my priorities.
Ohh I also got FREE cake at work today so I'm happy.
bonus today
