What are your plans with your bonus? Invest most of it or spend it on something nice? Perhaps a mixture of both. I have been trying to upgrade my wardrobe. Debating on whether or not to pull the trigger on a nice watch.

(Jk Invest all of it so that way you don’t have to do investment banking forever, maybe 1-2k on wardrobe but don’t buy a stupid 5-10k watch)

I was thinking non work clothes related. Weekend and going out outfits. Trying to find something and dress apart when I go out.

Watches are dumb put those $$$ in something risk on

I’d invest in a nice watch! Especially if you can get one for retail, depending on the watch it could be good investment!

50% towards student loans. 25% towards retirement accounts. 25% towards down payment savings.

I’m leaning toward a mix of both too! I’d definitely invest a portion, but I’m also thinking about treating myself to something special. A nice watch sounds like a great idea—it's both practical and a rewarding way to mark hard work. I"ve been thinking about buying a new car lol but not sure that's the smartest thing to take on right now.

Nice! I like the watch idea better because the value don’t depreciate as fast. If I didn’t live in the city, I would be tempted at cars too. 

Guess no one in here is at BoA lol, with all the watch comments 😂

Had the same question. Did they ban watches or something?

Down payment savings
