Side Note: I personally live in the NY Metro Area. I do understand the mindset of this area, also including those "Elitists" as people around the country may call them. When you are being paid over $100,000 or over $200,000 or more annually

When your weekly pay check gross is over $2,000 or over $4,000 per week. What is $500? Many who make $100k will be happy with a $500 or $1,000 bonus.

Yes costs are much higher in the NY Metro area.

BUT in the rest of the country where pay is much lower and costs are much lower like Rapid City South Dakota. 

A $500 bonus could mean a week paycheck. $500 can go a very long way. 

I have friends around the world from my military days. Keeping in contact with them via Facebook, some of them are receiving a bonus. I can tell you first hand that they and their co workers are  extremely happy to be getting their bonuses. Even though Nancy Pelosi calls it "Crumbs" while she is making $193,000 a year from her salary as Minority House Rep.
