How to Make Your Bonus Last Forever
Over twenty strategies to maximizing the most magical time of year
Hi, I’m Kristen Shirley, a frequent contributor to Bloomberg Pursuits and the founder of La Patiala, the luxury encyclopedia. I write about all aspects of luxury, but one of my specialties and favorite things to work on is Bloomberg’s fabulous gift guides, from the annual holiday spectacular to Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day and more, like Lunar New Year. ( Happy Year of the Snake!) I love finding the perfect gifts—big and small, luxurious and quirky—that will delight your friends and family.
Today we’re looking at a different type of guide: bonus season. When I thought about how I’d spend a windfall of cash, I couldn’t help but want to make it last, ideally forever. And I thought this logic—gifts for self-improvement, heirlooms to pass along and experiences that will create lasting memories—could help guide your thinking, too.
