Geesh. What a downer. Come on! Bonus money is still MONEY. Yes you should always determine a bonus and Salary together to determine impacts but... Come on

You might be over thinking this bonus thing.

Something to think about: Some of us don't ever get a bonus. This falls into the category of a problem I wish I had. Just saying.

I find it disheartening that people would splurge because of a one time payment. Doesn't anyone take a holistic view of their finances? If you have credit card debt, yet use a bonus to purchase a new TV or take a vacation, you have real problems.

Interesting way to try to drum up business. A financial planner saying that one should get financial advice when getting a bonus......
