Do You Feel Guilty Spending Your Bonus? 🎁💸

Hey LinkedIn fam 👋

Bonus season is around the corner, and guess what?

Mine’s arriving soon!!

Just in time for my birthday next month! 🥳

Every year, I like to treat myself to something special.

This time, I’ve been eyeing a gorgeous handbag and maybe a luxurious spa day.

But let’s be real… that could easily add up to HK$40k–50k 😅

Cue my parents: “Invest it all in stocks!” 📈

Cue me: But it’s my birthday…

And then comes the guilt.

Do you ever feel that too?

That little voice whispering,

“Shouldn’t you be saving this?”

Especially with the economy doing its rollercoaster thing — up, down, who knows what’s next?

So I’m curious... how do YOU spend your bonus?

Do you splurge guilt-free?

Save a chunk and spend the rest?

Or go full-on responsible mode and invest it all?

I’d love to hear your bonus rituals, guilty pleasures, or smart hacks.

Let’s normalise talking about money and maybe even celebrate the joy of spending it wisely (or not-so-wisely 😉).
