How would you spend your 13th month pay or CASH BONUS from work?

I never had a 13th month pay or cash bonus because of the nature of my work.. I am self-employed and never got a chance to receive bonuses.. :) If ever i will get a 13th month pay I will change the paint of my room to something lighter, like yellow or pink or maybe I will have to consult first for a feng shui expert about the lucky color of 2011.

I need to change my closet because most of what I have right now no longer looks presentable after being flooded last year. I already have a list and on the look for discounted prices of clothes. I still need to calculate things accordingly because Christmas food servings need a bit of those 13th month pay. I also need to set aside more (if I am too lucky) because I am planning to enter the stock market.

I wish I had a job with a christmas bonus, but unfortuately I dont. I think I would be spending the bonus on a few things which I currently need during my daily life, and the rest would be put away for investments later on, or to pay down a little loan I have gotten from my parents.

I'm gonna spend it by buying Christmas present and some stuff for my self. By the end of christmas I will be broke :(.

Hi dear, It was my pay hike and bonus on October. The company paid 16% of bonus and 16% increment. Even I had to change my mobile to Sony Ericson Satio (as the one I was using fell in water and got spoiled). Our Xmas celebrations will start only on the 3rd week of December and will last for till New Year. Hope you are enjoying the new job. Have you got the PDF file that I mailed to you? Regards, Thank-s

Well I would First A part of that Payment to reapy some of my debts and then go for shoping for my self and my younger brother, Like clothes, shoes, and others things. have a nice day

congratz! even you just started working but you already expecting a bonus on december. for me, even working for years in that company, neither bonus nor 13th month pay, i haven't experience. :(

Oh... i just resign from my work 4 months ago and i don't yet received my last pay from my previous employer...including my 13th month. i relly love to buy a laptop... but its better to save it on the bank so that i will have a savings for the future of my children....

hmm well most of mine will be to paying debts. i have borrowed money from people so i have to repay them.. and ill be saving a portion for xmas, no extravagant spending for me

For me I would prefer to go out side the country and made a relaxation hour.

When I was still working I see to it that I buy something special for myself when I receive my bonus or 13th month. Then, I budget the rest of my money to buy gifts for my loved ones. I also include in my budget some amount to the garbage men and sweeper and save some for the rainy days.

My monthly pay is not that much, but I'll invest a part of my bonus to our cooperative, then buy additional memory for my computer and maybe a new hard disk. :)

The things with technology nowadays is the fact that they look so good and they do basically everything, but... they do not seem to last that long as there are often problems which really does get annoying. I do like nokia phones, this is what i currently have and they are very reliable, but i know that i will not be getting a christmas bonus and so it is a good job that i don't want that much. If i was to be given a decent amount of money as a christmas bonus then i would put it towards getting myself a new xbox kinect, i think that this is amazing.

In my company, we got 13th month pay in this month. I would like to buy an IPAD. I'm thinking of it since it was intiated. It has a lot of fun on it, not only for the game, but also for surfing on the web and reading ebooks. I like it very much. I want to own one as my new year's present.

i am not working at the moment... so i won't be having any christmas bonus... but it is OK... i still have my savings from 6 years of working and i can spend a little bit of it for christmas... at the moment, i still can't think of anything yet that i want to buy... i have enough of everything... take care and have a nice day...

I guess I'm the boring and unimaginative one then... I can't think of anything I want or need to buy. Better just save it in the bank - only wish they'd bump up the interest rate!

We used to get a lump sum at the end of the school year when I taught school. I tried to make larger purchases that I could not manage with my regular monthly paycheck. One year I bought bicycling gear and hiking gear. I bought my first brand new desk top one year and then another year I bought my digital camera. I also tried to pay off some bills, and there was usually some bills that had to be caught up!

Hi, If I do receive a christmas bonus,then I will save that money and go for holiday trip one day. I like travelling so much and I wish to travel to more countries in future. Too bad, I am not working at this moment, so no chance to receive any bonus at all. How I wish I can go back to working society and earn income for myself.

I would spend it with my kids and we'll go shopping. That Christmas bonus would really makes my kids happy as it is only during Christmas most of the times go out and enjoy.

go get a blackberry mobile phone instead!! then we can always bbm. hahaha
