Hi! Yes I see you here after a long time…I don’t exactly remember my first salary but definitely I must have been very excited too! The first thing that I bought for my parents, I remember though. It was a very expensive shirt for dad and a lipstick for my mom.

Hi dear friend. I have just gotten my first salary for several days. I am so happy and excited with that. On the other hand, I know that money doesn't come so easily, so we should save money.

Hi there vidhyavini! When I first received my salary from my job, I was very elated. I thought about the hard work I have put into it. And of course, I felt good that it paid off. I was not so excited about spending it though. I have had the same feeling when I got my first pay here on myLot. I think it was really the feeling of excitement that brought me to cloud nine and not the idea of spending it right away.

I am primarily a stay-at-home mom. So, most of the money I make are on sites similar to MyLot or other "paid-to" sites. I'm always happy when I find a site that truly does pay and when the time involved for that pay is reasonable. OBviously I could make a lot more if I were working a job, but since I'm home, I'm happy with whatever I can manage.

I've been working previously in two jobs, so my first salary wasn't earned online but from my first job as an assitant fashion designer. My feeling at that time was of course happy to see my first ever salary and also I planned to save it up in my saving account instead of thinking how to spend it because I was studying in college the past 1 year and had spent quite a sum of money.

The first salary was very exciting, but for me that was a long long time ago. I know I felt like an adult at last and with the meagre amount I received I bought presents for everyone that mattered and who had played a part in my life. Seeing the surprised and pleased looks on their faces was even better than getting the salary.

hi there, The first money is always remembered, it may be one rupee or a 10,000...When I got my first salary, the usual feeling was there, which is a sense of happiness and fulfillment. Therefore, I decided to buy something for my family to show them gratitude. It made a whole lot of sense knowing that it was just a small token of how thankful I am to my parents and family for sending me to a good school so I can have a decent and good paying job.

The first thing is something too beautiful to be forgotten. and I shall never forget when I received my first salary. I feel so very excited, even at night before I received that salary, I've made a list of the stuffs that I would buy.

hi vidhyavini!^^ i got my first salary back in 2004 after 15 days of working in my first job. i was really happy and excited to spend it. i felt i was doing something good because i received money for it. i felt that my hard work really paid off. when i got home i immediately took my nephew and nieces to the mall and bought them new clothes and treat them in a kiddie restaurant. ^^ but that wasn't the first time i got money in return for my work. that's technically my first salary from my first job. when i was still a student, my teacher asked me to do a cross-stitching job for her because i was good at it. she paid me for it and that made me feel happy too and satisfied with my work. ^^

It was quite a while back, but as I remember, I think my reaction was, "WOW, my own money. What will I do with it?" My father helped me open a checking account so I could start paying back my school loan.

Of course anyone who have received their first salary were happy and finally their hard work have finally paid off. I thought of it if i have to give all to my mom but i also have to pay some dues, too. So sad that I only have to share part of it to my mom. However, i have not stopped sharing part of my salary at home.

Hello my friend vidhyavini Ji, Seeing you after very long time. Oh!, first time getting salary was ever green in my memory. I had just completed my term and right to earn my salary. So i was very much excited. My mother had given me lot of briefing the way I should carry money safely to home. As usual I had taken bath and I offered special worship to Goddess Laxmi and Ganesha. It reminds me of many things even today. May God bless You and have a great time.
