Bonus Spending - Materialistic

None of this 401k shit. What material items or experiences are you going to blow your bonus on?

Massage in Thailand, sauna in Macau, pinsaro in Tokyo, Amaterdam RLD, Czech private parties, and so on. I don't make nearly enough for all of this, but hope keeps me going everyday.

想要blow 40k with friends in one savage Mykonos day. Wake up, Solymar until I'm blacked then a Scorpios table.

Just remember that the cheapest sexual adventures in foreign countries are often the most expensive. Be careful out there

Definitely would need to start medications to prevent possible exposure to HIV within like 3 days of the interaction which may be hard to get a hold of safely in a 3rd world country (majority of STDs/STIs are fairly treatable even if exposed honestly but having HIV sucks even with medical advancements largely due to the stigma). Sex tourism is not worth the risk unless it's somewhere where they have to get tested constantly and you happen to be desperate I guess?

Nah, but it is lower and future is less certain, so ironic that this post was coming from someone in S&T

Not hating on your choice, but there is a certain pleasure to spending quality time with friends and family while you can, instead of in 20 years. I lost a lot of friends and family in the past year, enjoy what time you got while you can, instead of when you're 45. Life is too short to not enjoy it while you can.

豆荚绝对吸。浓缩咖啡预算有不同的水平,但是您可以在每个乐队中组合一个不错的设置。避开了手工研磨机和Chemex将比Pod好得多,以进行倾倒。

That being said, you may enjoy the convenience of pressing a button over the taste, which is fine so you can get back to grinding.

Breville Barista. Cannot recommend it enough. Spend 30 minutes tuning the grind settings, learn how to steam milk, and you'll never have to pay for coffee again

"You'll never have to pay for coffee, except that you will want to always have fresh beans, experiment with different roasts and regions, and spend an unreasonable amount of money supporting small roasters" pls fix

Breville是一台很棒的机器。对于想要优质简单设置并且不介意多付一点点以节省临时设置的麻烦的任何人,请转到REC。

有一个非常不错的设置从交易打猎ing for well-spec'd lower brands, but my next upgrade will definitely be a manual La Pavoni. Not sure if I'd suggest it as a first machine, but it's truly a work of art and you can get the Euro for ~1k. Biggest cost is that you'll want to upgrade your apartment to have a spacious open kitchen layout so you can properly showcase the machine.

我有一个Gaggia Classic&Eureka Mignon Specialita。

Total setup was ~$900 but I love it.. really can't beat having fresh espresso on tap anytime you want

I have a bialetti moccamaster and love it. Definitely not as fancy as a true espresso machine, but for $40 it does a surprisingly good job. If you don't over grind the beans and follow James Hoffmann YouTube video on it, it makes really great espresso with good beans.

爱它!在没有俱乐部一致性的情况下,达到〜18的巨大努力,我认为没有能力始终如一地打球和练习。

Keep at it, but found for me it was very difficult to get beyond ~12 - 14 or so. The consistency, and when certain things click, you can hopefully see a big jump from hitting mid-90s to approaching low-80s on good days. Regardless, it's a lifelong skill and enjoyable to play in all situations (with friends, clients) if you can break 100.

Wow, huge respect for waiting so long! I'm too impulsive, bought clubs a month into starting :'). Having said that, I do think having your own clubs help a lot, even if it's mainly psychological -- standing over a shot with a club you trust gives you so much confidence. Your scores are going to plummet!

好的选择!这将100%在您的游戏中有所作为。我是一生的高尔夫球手,大约在10年前购买了我的第一套合身套装,这大大增加了我对游戏的欢乐。

Good luck!

If I had to blow it on an object I don't really need at the moment, probably finally my first Rolex to the collection. Definitely interested in the GMT II Batgirl...so might get on a waitlist at least.

That's a good question. They didn't officially add a dealer markup, or what would be something like "Market Adjustment" on the sticker.... BUT... they added additional options that they offer through their dealership (not through Ford) that I didn't ask for but would like. It moved the price up about 4k so I bent over and took it.

I finally got my record player set up with some speakers and a receiver, so I've gone a bit crazy with vinyl purchases the past couple weeks. Also bought a couple tickets to see War on Drugs and Beach House, so mainly music related stuff it seems haha. Next on the list is a couch upgrade..have had a mediocre Overstock one since moving to Chicago, so want something I can just lay and veg out on, without the cushions shifting a whole lot. Leaning towards making a trip to a RH to feel some out.

Jan 19, 2022 - 4:53pm
BreakingRich, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Had a hookup for RH and got mine at a significant discount. I hate it. Love the shape, but the fabric didn't come out how I initially believed. The cushions don't hold their shape and I've had them replaced (for free), but need to do so again. It looks sloppy.

I'd look elsewhere unless you're planning to buy The Cloud, then full send. That thing is great if you can ever get up.

GoingToBeAnMD, what's your opinion? Comment below:

I'm a little closer to retirement that most of you so the bonus going into the 401k is an important part of my plan.

But, that also buys me peace-of-mind for the rest of the year because I can do fuck all with my money and I know that my retirement is taken care of. After all, the majority of us make a healthy salary, it's not like bonus is the only money coming in, right?

December tends to be a slow month in the office for me. I took a week-long trip to Hawaii this year and I loved it. I will be using my money to spend all of December in Hawaii this year. I'm going to take my dog, post up at a nice beachside hotel again, have my girlfriend join me for a part of the trip and just lay on the beach, drink and play golf for the whole month, guilt free.

I'm mid 40's. I'm aiming to retire at around 55. I won't retire with all the money in the world, but enough to play golf & drink wine every day for the rest of my life.

Congrats man! I love the Caymans/GT4s even more than the 911s. They are so aesthetic. What color did you go with?

Thank you! Mine is Shark Blue. I love the look of the GT4's too and it was a great way to start building a relationship with Porsche. They accepted my 992 GT3 order (no allocation) so I'm thinking maybe if I do finally get a call in a couple years, I'll be able to trade up to one and have the funds to do so.

I'm assuming you bought CPO? You'd have an easier time finding a samsquanch than a new Cayman on the lot.

80年代崭新笔挺的西装风格,一些昂贵Cuban cigars, and 3 kilos of blow, for my Tony Montana NFT Christmas card anno 2022. Did you get the link, mum?

Also thinking about getting a 458 or a 911, depending on the size. However, I think I might be smart and get something like a Model 3, and put the rest into my NFT...

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
