What Will You Spend Your Signing Bonus On?
As full-time start date begins in a few months, I was wondering what everyone is using their signing bonus towards. Are you using it for rent? A nice trip?
I'll probably use it on a nice trip but not really sure. Advice is appreciated.

I'm using part of mine for a cool trip to South America and the other part I'm using to get my parents something. I know it seems cheesy, but they enabled me to do a masters at a European target school without having to rack up debt and this allowed me to find a good paying first job. It isn't that they couldn't really afford it and this was a HUGE financial sacrifice, but a sacrifice no less. Even if its something small like buying your mother flowers, your father a bottle of a spirit he loves or even taking them out to dinner. A gesture like this is the least one can do for them
