Today was the day I’d been dreading…annual performance reviews.
It went much better than anticipated (I’ve heard co-workers complain about the company’s lack of monetary rewards) and I walked out with a 9% pay raise and a $1,000 cash bonus.
I’ve got big plans for that money.
Half of the bonus is going into savings (ING, of course) and the other half is spending money for my trip to London next month. I’m surviving just fine on my current salary, so the additional 9% will go towards credit card debt, and then into savings (ING, duh) once I am debt free.
