Unexpected work bonus!

Last paycheck of the year is posted. And to add into it, we also got an unexpected bonus! We were not expecting anything at all, since it has been a really rough year for the company. They normally give the bonus in two parts (one now, one around March), and they decided to give the smaller portion now. No guarantees on the second one, and quite honestly, I was surprised we even got the first part! My share is about $680 net. I quickly moved that to a lesser used savings account until I can decide what to do with it.

I do believe I want to both increase my emergency fund to some degree, and close, or at least minimize the $1,700 goal deficit for 2015 (how much savings I will need before moving--my spreadsheet indicates I will be short by that much if nothing else changes).

But oh well. Goals are for another day. TGIF! And I don't have to work this weekend! Woot!
