Plan to Prosper

What To Do With Your Bonus


Listen Later

Is unexpected cash burning a hole in your pocket before it even hits your bank account? The way we handle sudden financial increases often says more about our financial maturity and spiritual priorities than how we manage ordinary income.


In this episode of Plan to Prosper, hosts Logan and Dalton discuss the psychology of mental accounting and why sudden windfalls like corporate bonuses, tax refunds, and inheritances can quietly disappear without a proactive strategy. Rooted in the principles of faithful stewardship found in Luke 16, they share practical insights on avoiding emotional spending traps, navigating tax considerations like Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs), and creating a balanced framework that allows for both enjoyment and long-term planning.


What you’ll learn:

  • Why windfalls act as multipliers that amplify existing financial habits and discipline

  • The hidden risks of spending future money before it officially arrives in your account

  • A balanced allocation framework to help intentionally manage giving, saving, and celebrating

  • Tax strategies to consider during higher-income years, including pre-tax contributions and charitable timing

  • How to keep a healthy perspective on financial goals without letting emotional decision-making take over
