Seeing all these bonus projection threads popping up here so decided to ask a question. What did you do with you first IB bonus? And for those with more experience feel free to share what you did with the proceeding ones. Always see on here people in HCOL towns saying “live off salary save bonus” but just curious how that bonus felt and what you did with it. Cheers
