Taking Advantage of my Christmas Bonus
By DigiBi on Feb 10, 2009 in Finance
Though Christmas has been here and gone, I have just started to think about how I am going to use my Christmas bonus. The company that I work for had a really great year last year, and their bonuses were much more generous than normal.
I know that we could use the money to pay down our mortgage, buy the kids new bikes, or even reduce our credit card debt. But quite frankly, none of those choices gets me excited at all, and I feel that since it is a “bonus” that I would be doing a disservice to myself if I just used it for something practical.
So, I have been eyeing some sites that offer Orlando Florida villas as a possible use for the money. We haven’t had the chance to take a real vacation for some time now, but since we only have one kid left at home, I think it is about time that we treat ourselves for a change.
All I have to do now is convince my wife that staying at an Orlando villa will be a relaxing experience for both of us - I might just have to offer to cook for us while we are there so she does get a real break.
