Giving your first salary to your parents

hi roshigo58, thinking about my first salary, i actually offered up all to the church. it's my mother who taught me that. my parents prefer me to offer up all my first salary to the needs of the church rather than to them. i think it's really good for me to give thanks to God for all that He supplied and prepared for me.

That's really the ideal thing to do when we get our first salary. It shows our gratitude to our parents for taking care of us and sending us to school. But most of the times that doesn't really happen. Like in my case, I didn't give all my salary to my parents, I just give them a big amount from my first salary. I had to support my self since I'm already working so I kept some for myself.

I didn't give my first salary to my parents. Rather, since I was the only one working in the family that time, I was shouldering all of the bills. So even if I wasn't giving my salary, it was like the same. But I don't really mind since I know that I was able to help my family. My brothers who I have supported now have stable jobs and now they are the ones who are giving me an allowance.

I didnt know people ever done that in those time . I remember I spend my first salary before even reaching home lol . I worked for the summer and had my eyes on somethings and when I get the check I just buy all the things I wanted lol . Brand new phone and shoes . My mother dindt mind because she know I wanted the phone . I have never give my parents any of my pay .

The first time I had a job, I was already married. And I remember spending my first salary on buying a microwave oven. I do not remember why I had to but I think it was necessary coz I sometimes feel lazy heating up food the usual way.

No, I didn't. My parents encouraged me to deposit it all into my savings account. The way I've grown up is, as long as I'm under my parents' roof, I shouldn't need to spend unless for gifts for them or others. But in regards to food, rent, and household stuff, though I've offered, they refuse to accept. I think that's a pretty good system because it teaches me to save up, and then later on when they are much older is when I will be the one to support them instead.

When I receive my first salary, i only give half of it to my parents. It is because from time to time I always give money to them, when they need it. I am also in charge in some of the expenses at home such as electric and water bills. Also I gave some allowance to my younger brothers which are studying, including tuition fee for their school. It's really is great to help your parents by giving them money but you need also to save for yourself especially for your daily expenses and needs.

I did and I can still remember my mother's face when I handled her my salary. Now my daughter is working and she's doing the same thing. It's really nice to see how happy our parents are and I am thankful to have a good daughter as well.

actually i didn't give my first salary to my parents instead i bought that money for a things for me so that it could be the remembrance for me,but my 13th month pay and my bonus always for them and not for me,i will only receive the bonus and 13th month pay and then will give to them.

When i was single and lives with my parents i always share them a bit of my salary,not really the whole salary coz i need some money too.its just a sign of repaying all their sacrifices to us,without them we can never be what we are now.so let them have even a bit of it.

i give almost half of my salary in my mother when i first receive my salary.. not everything because i have a lot of expenses by that time and i have to pay the money i borrowed.. what i did also is i bough some foods to blowout my family.. i remember my when i first received my salary it was really a great feeling..

Hi Roshigo. Well it does not make any sense as you mentioned earlier to literally give all of your first salary to your parents. Of course they do not need all of it. But it is just kind of a token to your parents. To show them your gratitude and tell them that this would not have been possible if it was not for them. SO if someone deserves this money more. It is you. Eventually your parents would give back your money though. I am yet to work. But I will do the same when I start working. Anyways have a nice day... _SuperShames_

I remember I gave half of my salary to my mother :) well I always give half of my salary ever since..

I remember it like it was yesterday! I was raised in Germany the most people get theire salary once a month! I was so proud getting my first money and went straight at home! My mother had a hard time we never had money even that she worked so hard! I handed her my money and got really disappointed when she didn't take it! She said I am your mother and it is my duty to see that your belly is full and that you got clothes on your butt. But I was 16 old enough to decide what I am doing so I bought food and times got better for us.

My first salary was very meagre because I was training on the job, it was barely enough to buy me lunch each day and get to and from the job! I did try and contribute as much as I could but my mum wouldn't take anything because I wasn't earning enough. When I did get a real job, mum would only take a small amount of me, so what I did was to pay for the shopping each week and contribute towards the bills, it would have cost me so much more if I lived in my own place supporting myself.

I've always been a person that has been there to help my mother when she needs it. However, I've never been a person that handed everything that I as making to my mother and I know that she would not accept it if I was to offer to give all of my money to her. Though some things have changed in our society over the last couple of years and there are more people that are living with their family, I still think that everyone works together as opposed to adult children turning their money over to their parents.

actually i wanna did that,but my parents always declined money from me,then i give them thing that make them happy.

When I received my first salary, I gave nothing to my parents. It was not even enough to pay all my debts accumulated when I was jobless. The preceding months, I would share them more or less ten percent and when I visit them would shop for their groceries. When I got married, I was the one who spent for our wedding expenses of three pigs and a medium cow aside from the wedding gown among others.

No. Because I didn't have enough for myself. I understand that you have to have your own money and survive. My parents had my brothers giving some money every week to help to pay for the food but they never gave there hole pay check, how on earth they can pay for their cars, put gaz in it and all. My parents understood that we have a life to live too, that doesn't mean that we don't like our parents. If we didn't have the cash my mom didn't want us to spend what we couldn't afford.

Well,my first salary was less than 5000 rupees.I joined an organisation around 18th and the salary was of the 12 days i worked.Funny thing was i got the salary credited in my debit card but i had not received the pin of the debit card yet at that point of time.It was also my first experience using debit card for purchases although i did use debit card earlier to withdraw money.I was new to the area and it was everything new and learning.Well,for food and other things, i did use the money i had in place for emergencies. Well with my first salary, i bought a shirt for my dad,some books and games for brother, and flower vase and flowers for mother.They loved everything i bought.I was happy to see the same and well glad for the things.It was fun recollecting all those memories.But then first salary was always special and i cherish the moment although it was small.I do not remember if i bought anything for me which i do not think so.But i was excited as it was my first salary plus i was just out of college.Earning myself was something i loved.Good to hear your experience.Great feelings i guess.Thanks!
