What are you going to do with your 13th month pay?

I just recently became active on mylot again, so there won't be enough for a payout on the thirteenth. I will however be saving up for a very personal goal this summer. You have some great ideas for your cash out. Good luck.

Wow, great plans! I'm not working so I don't have 13th month pay anymore. I kinda miss that feeling of expecting to receive extra bonus from work. But, anyhow, my husband's going to get his this weekend. I hope we can finally buy a new bed or sofa set.

My thirteenth month pay is usually spent buying a lot of things, small and big, for not only my own family, but also for my relatives. It is a time when we spend the most of the year. Also we deposit the rest of it. Have a good day, chiwasaki.

I just started my work here in Dubai and since it is an Iraqi company, I don't think that they will give any 13th month pay. Good thing that I'll be receiving separation pay from my previous company. First, I will settle my remaining debts and share the remaining amount with my mom, dad, husband and me so that we can get to spend on something that we like whether in kind or in food. I think next year, I'll be saving bits and pieces of my allowance so I can have something more to spend next Christmas. I'll be Mylotting a lot as well and look for another part-time job to earn more income.

Hi chiwasaki! Congratulations! Oh Well, My 13th month pay was already gone. I received it on the first week of November and I use part of it for down payment for my new refrigerator. Some amount for the gifts I have to give to my children and relatives. It's okay for me if I have nothing left for myself as long as I am able to give to my family that would be enough for me. Merry Christmas!

Since I'm one of the eldest grandchildren in the family (the third) and I'm one of the three who finish college, basically I will be a Ms. Santa. I'm a 'parent scholar' so I have to return the favor. I already bought a sliver (Italian silver) necklace for my father. I still have to buy a set for my mother. I will also buy something for my grandmother and my aunt who also helped me get to school. I owe them so much. Basically, I will spend most of it to my beloved family. Some will be more the needy children, like food for the street children and our poor neighbors. Merry Christmas. Give love. Share love.

half of what i got in my 13th month pay has already been given to my mom. i gave her the portion, and the half has been spent on my travel to CDO for water rafting and zipline adventures. hehe so my 13th month pay is actually now gone. =( oh that is just so sad, then hehe :D oh well i should just wait now perhaps for the next money to come in heheh

13th month pay? I don't get a 13th month pay. I don't get anything extra...

Explain this '13th month pay'; is it like '12th month + Christmas bonus?' Are you asking what we'll do with our Christmas bonus? Can we declare that any income-giver which does not give a '13th month pay' is ungraceful and thus "abides in the fire" when we take residence in the "gardens with rivers flowing underneath?"

I'm planning to set aside my money for a gas card or store card. We need to do better on our savings and so that is what I'm working on doing. I just have to try and be very tight with my earnings.

I have nothing to buy now because we received our year-end bonus during the first week of this month and I immediately paid my loan from our cooperative. For christmas, I have to spend from a portion of my salary for the gifts thAT I will give to my family

Well I am hoping to get iur 13th month pay by next week too. It seems that you are ver generous to your family and you really love them. So far no plans yet on what to do our buy from it but for sure i'll gonna save the half of it so I could have something to get in case of emergency.

I'm not getting a 13th month pay (or Christmas bonus, as we call it in the States). But if I were, I would probably spend it on my animals. It's wonderful that you are concerned with getting your mom some new appliances. You are a very sweet person to think that way. Best wishes! :-)

I want to save it this time. Usually I buy it for other stuffs but this time I'm going to save it. :-) Have a Blessed Christmas in advance

I may not be getting any pay from anybody as I am unemployed but my son will be getting fat bonuses from his employers and he will share with me some of what he gets. Its a payback time anywhere.

Helo Chiwasaki, congratulations that with all of your sacrifice, you were able to entertain yourself in using the money at your own pleasure. even though it's been advised that better save your earnings because you might be able to use it one day. right now, i think it's up to you whether you want to waste it or save it for the future as well

I was in your country so i know what you mean by 13th month pay, here it is called yearly bonus, usually equal to one month salary by private companies and firms; no such thing in government sector. well enjoy and buy what you feel proper Thanks for sharing ..

haha that is fine but i want to save some bucks so that i can use it up for buying my ipad or some techie gadgets of my choice

I already received my 13th month pay just last Thursday. I bought a camera and a secondhand korean flip top cellphone. I really love to collect fliptop mobiles from Japan and Korea. I then took some portion of it for my savings. Merry Christmas!!

Here, we don't have 13th month pay :( But there will be annual pay, given every year you; worked in the company and a plane ticket or its cost if one is not going for a vacation. What I do with that before is sent money to my parents so they can buy new things for the house. Now, what I want is to go for a vacation so my annual pay would be sent on the vacation.
