[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One week before Christmas so she can do her christmas shopping in time.[/quote]

This is ridiculous.

1. All my holiday shopping is completed before Labor Day.
2. If my nanny is relying on a bonus to buy gifts then she is not managing money well.
3. If she is waiting until the last minute to do Christmas shopping she is not managing time well.

The last two would cause me to re-think whether this is a person I want helping to raise my children. [/quote]

You must be out of touch with reality. Most nannies aren't high income earners. They are living paycheck to paycheck so often allocate their bonus toward holiday shopping. They make 1600-2500 a month after taxes, that's hard to survive on with bills and other expenses.[/quote]

To count on a discretionary bonus is not smart budgeting. I was not always wealthy. But I always budgeted assuming no bonus and no raise, because they're not guaranteed. [/quote]

Au contraire lady...it's smart budgeting since she is saving her earnings and only spending the extra you give her. Doesn't mean she is waiting for it but since its given she puts it to good use. [/quote]

To count on something that's not a sure thing is stupid, in my book. We may need to agree to disagree on this issue, as you're not going to change my mind and it seems I won't change yours.[/quote]
