This is such fantastic advice. I was planning on putting the whole chunk into the kids 529s, but I feel like you just gave me permission to book a massage as well. Thank you!

Love this take, Doug.

The emotional side of bonuses gets overlooked. I learned the same lesson. Celebrate the win first, then decide where the money goes. The plan sticks way better when the moment gets recognized.
