save it or pay off a car,put it toward a crib or payment.dont invest if you know nothing about that field
 
lol at the humble brag. i'll probably pay some bill and blow a lil at the bar treat out some good friends and put it towards a house in the fall of 12'
 
If you have any debt at all pay it towards that. End of story.

If not blow like $500 and just stack the rest until you need it.

You get taxed off the $5k right? Man, I get $1k bonuses usually every year and it saddens me when it gets taxed. Because of that, I usually just spend it all.
 
Pay off a car payment/save it for future payments/bills. It'll pay off in the long run. Realistically though, blow it.
 
If you could get another 3-5 gs together throw it in JPM next time it pulls back under 30, although you can't go wrong buying anytime under 32 if you're fine with holding long term.
 
yeah i work at Boeing, this is my second contract, wanted to go on strike so i can go back to Laos and chill. yeah usually suspend it too and get like 7500-8k check but i would have to pay that back at the end year.  probably gonna get some new snowboarding gear.
