Bonus!

We got our year-end bonuses today! A bit earlier than expected.

I got $500 before tax. Its funny. I have literally gotten bonuses 10X that amount in my past life. Somehow, because this one comes from a real human being, who gave me HER hard earned money, it really means a lot more. I am oh-so grateful.

So what did I do with my $430 (after taxes) windfall?

$200 to the slush fund
$70 to long term savings
$15 to retirement/IRA fund
$25 donation to the charity of my choice
$100 stays in checking to officially put an end to the Christmas Crisis.
Leaving me with $20 unspoken for. I think I will put it in the IRA fund, but I haven't officially decided yet.

Hooray for money!
