What's the first "thing" you bought/ you will buy yourself on your first salary?

My first salary went to the bank. I hardly spend my money on anything apart from food and bills, even till now. Perhaps I'll use the money for travelling with my family one day.

On my very first salary, I think I just gave half to my mom and the rest, I used as my travel fair until the next pay day came up. I only started a week before pay day so I only got a quarter of the base salary that I was suppose to earn. The next pay day, I was away and just needed socks so I bought socks. Well, yeah, its not really as monumental but, I simply spent out of necessity. (^_^")

wow that was quite a long time ago. as far as i remember that the first thing i bought in my first salary is i treated my self with some good foods because i got my salary then late at night and i was kind of starving so i rushed to the nearest restaurant and eat my hearts out there and go home and take a good rest.

I don't think you can afford a car with an entry level salary in the Philippines. the minimum wage stands at around 8 to 10 thousand a month. Whereas the price of a brand new car stands at around 600,000 to 700,000 pesos. The cost of a hydrid car stands at around 2 million pesos. So if you're planning to buy a car, you may need the help of your parents or start your own business. I think even lawyers and doctors can't afford to buy a car with their first salary. Buying your own car is still possible even if your just an employee but you will have to wait for a couple of years and several wage increases. From what i can recall, i was only able to treat a friend to lunch when i received my first salary. there's nothing especial that i was able to buy as far as i can remember. But that was more 10 years ago.

I will give my money to my parents because they know how to spend and save the amount. If suppose, the amount is in our hands, we may misuse them by purchasing unnecessary articles. So i will give my money to my parents.

i can remember the first time i got my salary,i treat my friends to a dinner. that's ten years ago.

during my first paycheck, i bought my first insurance policy. my older sister was the insurance agent, i was her first customer. hehe she had been bugging me to buy one before i got employed. and i promised then that i would once i got accepted at work and on my first paycheck i'll give her the 1st quarterly premium. so that's where almost half of my first salary went to. even if i really couldn't afford it that much during that time, i kept my promise. i didn't regret buying my insurance. it has been fully paid after 5 years. not one payment missed or delayed.

Well, let's see - 35 years ago at $1.15 an hour....can't rememeber the pay check muchless what I was able to buy with the pitence!!! I do remember opening my first charge accounts at Pennys and May Co and Sears...about 2 years later. I was just thrilled to say "charge it"... just like I'd heard so many times on tv!!!

Hi Cecille :) The first major thing I bought when I was just out of high school and working full time was a brand new car. I was able to save money down on it, and then make monthly payments...a wise and "happy" purchase! My parents had to co-sign because I was so young, but the payments, insurance, and maintainance, I paid myself. Karen

Good questions, I don't remember what I did with my first paycheck anymore. I do remember though what I did with the money the first time I got paid for articles that I wrote. I bought a cellphone! I was still a student then. hehe :) Goodluck to your graduation and pending job hunt!

When I received my first salary, I treat my self to different restaurants. I eat foods which I do not used to eat. But of course Im saving a part of it to buy my own car someday. As of now, i am still saving money for it.

Every first paycheck seems to be exciting. I spent a big portion of my first salary to pay for the internet bill at home, a dinner treat, and a seminar. I did not really buy something special with it, but still I was able to enjoy my hard earned money.

Hey nice question.! What I did with my first salary is, I bought a new mobile phone. Then I bought some sweets and give it to my parents, brothers and relations. First salary is always special one..! :)

hai frnd. it very interesting to present gift from first salary, i had present blue colour dress for my mother from my first salary, all of them have one dream with the first salary, take care thank you very much for ur reply good luck

I remembered that when i first received my salary from my boss, i had given my family a dinner treat at the nearby restaurant. Besides that, i even bought a dress for myself. I still remembered and cherished the moment i received my first salary from my boss. It means that i don't have to depend on my parents for my pocket money. I am happy that i am able to earn money by myself. Hope you will be very happy with your first salary, my friend.

I will never ever forget it. The first thing I bought with my first real pay check was a pearl ring. I had to put $50 down and pay for the ring weekly until I finally paid it off.

the things that i will buy for my first salary is a yamahax1r 350cc motorcyle because here in our country many people used motor , its because of traffic , so im will buy motorcycle in my first salary.

Actually i am a student now only. For doing a job i need 4 years more to complete my MBBS. But my intention when i will get my first salary then i will give my salary to my parents. In my family my father is the only person who income and he bear my all cost. And my mother she is housewife she never earned anything. But i believe mo money means my parents money. So i want to give my money to them.
