Improve your credit rating among your loaners.
Add money to your emergency fund
Your rainy day kitty should always be stocked should anything unfortunate happen. Use the bonus to ensure that the fund is boosted.
Give back
Contribute to a charity that speaks to you. Be it donating to relief organisations, refugee camps, children’s homes, people that need help with medical bills etc.
Beef up your savings
Whether it’s your usual savings or if you are saving for a holiday, land or a fancy phone- use the bonus to add to get even more serious with your savings.
Reward yourself
If you wanted to visit a spa, or have a decadent dinner at Kempinski or some such, after you’re fulfilled your other obligations, use the bonus to gift yourself. You only live once, right?
