    We knew it was coming and a small one, but dh wasn't sure he would get all of it, but did. After taxes it was 759.00. Not huge but extra money. Our electric bill was smokin 350.00 this month because our air has run non stop pretty much. So going towards that one for sure!! And sending him and...

    So it's starting to look like mid-next year DH is going to get a bonus to the tune of $50K. We'll probably lose about $15K of that to taxes and take home around $35. My question is, do we just pay that towards the house? Following Dave Ramsey's plans preferably. I don't know how to work in a...
