i'd spend most of it on women and beer and then waste the rest.

Had a bonus a little bit bigger than that once and decided to spend it instead of save it or invest it. I got a hot tub and a large screen TV, and I've never regretted one penny of it ever in all years since then. But the key is, if you are going to spend it, it has to be on something that you truly want and are going to get lots of use out of and won't feel like you blew it. Decide what would truly make you feel happy or relaxed or rewarded, etc.

uh invest it save it pretend you don't have it cause one day you will need it and won't have it there are so many things you can spend way more money on and none of them are worth any real value and really rich people usually do not spend there money in crazy ways there are execptions people who have no respect for money or them selves or the people who do constantly worrry about how to make more the very fact that you are asking this question means you should not be spending it unless you are close to your grave and really don't need it there a few books that you might want to check out before you go spending it there are plenty of people that get lots of money and do stupid crap with it and regret it later and wish they could turn back time or do it all over again in short if you do not have a house or stable place to live and a car paid off and retirement in liquidated form and a good size cushion to fall back on incase something happens to you like you get hurt or sick or your house gets demolished in a way insurance will not cover it like arson then your not really getting a bonus and if you just go and spend it on crap and don't have any solid reasons for doing it them your probably not doing it for any good reason

Pay off your credit card debt. If you don't have credit card debt, pay off your car loan, if you don't have a car loan, pay off whatever loan you have. Then if you have money left over, put half into savings and spend the other half on something you really want.
But don't spend this money if you have loans. It will just perpetuate a bad situation. Especially credit card debt which is like a cancer on your finances.

Depends on your situation. As for me, one or two really nice treats, a bit in my checking account and the rest into stocks. You've got to have balance. Do you have debt? Pay it off. Do you have savings? Now you do if you didn't. You've got to analyise your own situation and do what's best for you. You don't need to make a perfect decision, just a good one.

I would pay off any debt that I had on credit cards, then I would buy myself something nice that I wanted.
You must have worked hard for that bonus, you deserve to reward yourself!
