I know of a few companies where the pay isn’t quite competitive without the bonus. If you lose 10% of your income with the same or greater responsibilities (life often gets harder when the money gets scarce), your finances and plans don’t give a shit what you called it, they just know it’s gone.

It is foolish to include you bonus in your financial planning.

In many cases your variable comp ends up being like half or more of what you're paid which makes it hard to really adhere to that in reality.

I meant monthly expenses by financial planning. You shouldn't be missing bill payments because you only got base. Of course you will include it in your broader financial plan.
