How do you invest your bonus? For context have ~40k in student loans (~4.8% rate), not interested in a house/apt purchase anytime soon, just want to save up for ~major life events~, have a little bit of money for fun and invest most of it. Any tips on percentages etc?

That’s what I’ve always done assuming you get 30k grand minimum

20% do yourself a really nice unforgettable- trip - remember YOLO!
20% repay some of your loan
20% non-ape investments (ETFs, long term option, luxury watch, you name it)
20% save in cash ISA
20% keep for the year in checking account
