The very first thing you bought with your bonus.
This is very intriguing to me and have always wondered what people buy when they receive their bonus in this particular industry.

I never had loans, so maybe a different story if I did but I never understood the point of running out and buying something post bonus. If it's something I really want, why wait until bonus? If not, I just don't feel the need to spend the money.
Well, if you’ve ever been broke or lived with zero savings / paycheck to paycheck, you know how much of a relief it can be to finally finally have a financial cushion. Think of it as a cheat meal after a really grueling cut. After awhile though the extra fancy stuff doesn’t mean much, so splashing out isn’t a temptation.

Omega. Banked everything since. Drive an old car, live in a cheap apartment, spend little money, and have ~70% of my liquidity in a money market fund yielding 4.5%.

The first thing I did with my bonus was pay for food, rent, and headhunters after the firm axed my head like Hainan chicken. Then they had the audacity to ask me to come back after they hired a retard to replace me.... after I had spent all my bonus to survive! I made sure to properly give them the run around with fake bids on their sell-side mandates once I made it to the buyside. I'm talking months of work for zero ROI. That is how finance works, tits for tats.
