About 75% of my total comp comes as an annual bonus. The crazy compensation structure is probably the main reason I'm going to retire early. I started with a plan to live on my base and bank the bonus, because job security is not what my profession is known for. As the bonus grew I stayed with the original plan and now I'm putting away ~75% of my gross. If I got paid the same amount but saw the check every other week, I'm not sure I'd be saving as much.
