Financial advisors recommend a nice dinner, then go on living on your old income, putting your entire after tax raise into savings/retirement.

Honestly with the way the market is going today. I would take the money and pay off any debt that I have and put the rest back in a savings with a high yield. We are in a market now to where every penny counts, and changes one day to another. It is said that the American people are one check away from broke, so why not use the money to better yourself. Of course a nice dinner and a new outfit always help too, but use the rest as if you did not have it, because it can be gone just as quick as you received it.

Hi do something special for yourself with a friend--maybe get a 2 for 1 deal or if its more than "enough" for 1 then you can purchase something for you & a friend.
OR invite everyone over to your place & supply the punch & ask them to bring boardgames etc.
Really it would depend on your salary increase.

I LIKE heart_and_troll’s answer but I THINK you should go a bit further:
Tithe at least 10% of that increase to your church, temple, mosque or your favorite charity. More than one favorite charity? Equally divide that 10%!

Go out to dinner, and then put the rest of the money into savings.
