Just got an email from my department head--I got a nice promotion, and a 15% raise!
Hey, HEY, HEY!!!!
Yeah, baby, it's a new iMac for me! Maybe a MacPro???? Hmmm......
And I'm working at the best place I've ever worked (not the best job, but that place was like working at the Death Star).
I'm very gratified, and very grateful.

What kind of a place do you work at that promotes people by email?

Congratulations!
15% is a mighty healthy amount!
Now, if you put 10% of every paycheck for a year into some modest investments, in 20 years, it'll be enough for a house!
But a Mac Pro NOW would be more instantly gratifying

Congrats on the promotion. They say if you do what you enjoy the money will follow.
