Not to get real personal but a little straw poll to measure employer generosity this year. In past years my employer has been more than generous - but this year we became publicly owned and.....well....we don't have a clue if there is going to be one or not.

#2 should have read "did before but not this year"

This year was really good for us. Bonus was (for our income bracket) huge, 401k match was just as huge. Finally own more than we owe, finally feel as if we'll retire well, finally feel no need for a college savings plan.

I'm leaving my part time E jobs and becoming an S and over the next 12 months. I don't get a bonus, working for yourself and investing is a bit different.

But as a "bonus" I am getting a personalized LL bean jacket from the marina. Real nice, thats got to be worth $100 so its a nice gift from them. I made them a lot of money so, ehh it works.

That's cool - I did the same with my staff, Corp sent everyone a blanket/rug thing that has all the company logo's on them

Tick tock, Tick, tock just a few hours and I can do the poll

Does emptying the coffers of a zero equity partnership at the end of every year count as a bonus?

Can you buy a coffee with that huge bonus?

After maxing out the SEP, both girls IRAS, private school tuition for '08 and paying off the Catepillar dealer, maybe. Last year for wife to be eligible for cafeteria plan, so couldn't do anything crazy.

Don't worry, ya'll will get to that chapter in business associations in a year or so
