I got a half-dozen bonuses through the 1980s & early '90s ranging from $2400-$7200 (after tax witholding). Every bonus went straight into the ER portfolio without being spent on anything else. So did sea pay and most of sub pay.
I think that compounding gave us the extra boost of confidence to ER at what we later realized was just about the pit of the 2002 bear market.
Or at least it helped me decide not to get a job...
