As the title says I wanted to try a wee social experiment as follows.
So after landing a massive contact I have a 5 figure bonus getting paid out next week and I don't want to sound like a dick but it's the biggest bonus I've every had and I can't help myself.
So what would you do if you had a whopping lump sum dropped into your account?
Let's say it's £40k
What would be your first 3 spends?
You can give it to charity, spend it on family or invest in something sensible or just go mental.... choice is yours. |

Easy for me
1. £10k each into my niece and nephews trust accounts I have set up
2. Buy my mum a new car
3. Then use the last of the money to take my family and some friends to Disneyland in Florida |

All kidding aside, this is what I would do too. Help my daughter out too. |
