What would you do with it? Actually got more than I thought I would. I work in a stable industry as well, probably one of the few that will never be effected by this economic "crisis" we're currently in. The only thing really that affected me was the drop in the price of gas.

I am leaning towards the mortgage, but I don't want to rush myself with that, as I pay minimal rent now just living with a group of friends in a home that we rent out.

Edit: I maxed out my donations on my 401k throughout the year, so forget that....

Pay off my credit cards in full each month. That's not really an issue to worry about.

^To be honest, I'd rather take it all as a raise, since that was really crappy (2 percent). Would be nice getting a (21.6+2) 23.6 percent raise instead of a bonus....

Dont need a new car, dont want a house yet and my company pays plenty into my 401k anyway

Id probably just spend it on vacation or save up for when I do want to get that house

That's what I was thinking as well, since my RX-8 is perfectly fine, and I don't particularly want a new car right now anyway. A 335i coupe would be nice... but do I need it? Not really.

Right now my rent is about 550 a month including all utilities. That's dirt cheap for nothern NJ.
