What would you spend your bonus on if you weren’t saving/investing it?

I’ve been grinding and cannot wait to find out what my bonus is going to be next week. I’m going to save/invest +90% of it, but hypothetically if I didn’t, it’s fun to think about what I’d purchase:

  • 65-inch 4K TV with the new Xbox
  • A tesla cuz Elon Musk is the fucking man (even though I already have a shitty Volkswagen)
  • A long vacation to Europe/Middle East/Asia (post-covid)
  • Spoil my parents and sister with Christmas gifts (actually doing this)
  • A nice new watch
  • New clothes and shoes (work/casual)
  • Move into a nicer apartment
