For some people this business buzz word is not really a buzz word but oxygen to them. For others their wheels take a long time to turn and others do not have the cogntive capacity for this..... (excuse my words). However, passion is what matters and most of us are locked in a job they hate because it is not their passion. I am on the journey to discover my passions and am having a blast doing it! Joe Fitz!

God bless! @cris Good for you to invest those extra cash. Smart decision. @FS Thank you. It'll be an honor to be included in your Katana round up. :D @Allan I asked my friends too and they can't seem to remember also. I guess it's just normal to be "too happy" with the extra money and forget where it all went afterwards. :) @Tyrone So are you still invested in those instruments until now? How's the performance been? @Sir Angel

When I worked in an investment bank before, we very large bonuses. I remembered I invested it in BOND Fund of UITF and then later on transferred to Balanced Fund and finally settled with the riskiest of all, equity funds. As for me, I always save my Christmas Bonus.

I LOVE this post!! I love the personal aspect and the way you provide progression in your Christmas spending progression. Your final Christmas bonus spend was truly you're greatest. It's fascinating to understand this business to me. Great line: “savings” were not enough to actually save me. I'm going to include this post in my weekly Katana round up. Cheers, Sam Hey Fitz!

I tucked it in mutual funds. Our company also had a one-time, interest free salary loan, payable for one year. I also took advantage of that and invested it.
