How did you spend your first pay.  email this discussion to a friend?

rytnlxm (76)   ranked 1,290 out of 32,943 in life 4 years ago

Yesterday,I got my first pay in my life.I have never done a part-time job in my college time so it is really the first sum of money I earned by myself.It has been a long time since I had multifarious plans to use it,but when the day really came I have no idea how to spend it.My parent and grandmother are not here and I can not send them the gifts myself.And another reason is the money is not much so I am not as happy as imagined before.
When did you get your first pay and how did you use it?
Or,if the day has not come,have you ever think about this question?

I took my very first paycheck & bought a ring for my Grandmother. It was a lovely Mother's ring. Instead of putting her 3 children in the ring which wasn't very pretty, I had all 6 of her Grandchildren put in the ring & then called it a Grandmother's ring. She wore it for 21 years without ever takin it off. Just before she died, she took it off & gave it to my Aunt...telling her to make sure it returned to me. I have worn it for the last 19 years never takin it off. The stones were placed from the oldest grandchild to the youngest. It turned every other stone was an Amethyst. The other 3 looked lovely between the Amethyst. I am proud to wear her ring!!! thumbup

How nice! Your first paycheck was well-invested. It actually became an heirloom, a legacy. I guess that ring will pass now from generation to generation, becoming more valuable with each year and all the memories associated with it.


myLot reputation of 95/100. LadyMarissa (4285)   ranked 387 out of 32,943 in life  4 years ago

happy Yes it seems that way. I have no children & my niece is asking if I will let her wear it when I die. cry


rytnlxm (76)   ranked 1,290 out of 32,943 in life  4 years ago

Hi,LadyMarissa.Your ring has already emerge in my mind.A precious gift full with your love.I think you will send this ring to your grandchild and it will became a heirloom like polaris714 said.
I will buy a gift to my grandmother and I think ring is a good choice.Maybe it will not be a expensive one but I am sure my grandmother will like it.
Thank you for sharing.


myLot reputation of 95/100. LadyMarissa (4285)   ranked 387 out of 32,943 in life  4 years ago

This ring was not an expensive one as my first check was not that large. However, it has become a treasure. Grandmothers do not need expensive gifts. They just need gifts of love!!! happy thumbup wub

I got my first pay cheque when I was sixteen.
Did a part time job working as a assistant in an arcade.
It was quite fun doing that job!

Spent my first pay on a mini compo which I put in my bedroom for listening pleasure!
I think the set is still around. It is with my mother now. I do not know if she has sold it away or not. lol


rytnlxm (76)   ranked 1,290 out of 32,943 in life  4 years ago

Hi,let me guess,it is this compo which you ever used to listen Liang Jin Ru 's song?lol
Have a good day.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ahgong (3967)   ranked 34 out of 32,943 in life  4 years ago

ha ha ha ha ha... you can say that.
She was very popular back when I was a teen.
Almost everyday you will be able to hear her song at least a few times through out the day.

I do listen to other songs too.

Oh that was so long ago. My first job was 20 years ago. I worked at a shoe store so I probably bought shoes. I bought a lot of shoes while I worked there.
Paychecks are never as big as you want them or possibly need them to be.
Get something for yourself. Even if it is just a little something. You earned it.


rytnlxm (76)   ranked 1,290 out of 32,943 in life  4 years ago

Yeah,it is really a long time ago.It would be convenient for you to buy suitable shoes.My feet is kind of big because I am very tall,so I can not find suitable shoes very often.I think if I work in a shoe store,it will be better.
I will buy something for myself,let me see,a pair of dangler ,maybe.
Have a nice day.

I remember spending it to buy more business type clothes. I also spent some of it to treat my family to pizza. Also I used some of it for my insurance and luckily it was a good investment. I spent some of it too buying some magic props for my magic of course. thumbup


rytnlxm (76)   ranked 1,290 out of 32,943 in life  4 years ago

Congratulations! Hope you spend it on something memorable so that someday you can tell your grandchildren: Look, I bought this with my first paycheck! Or if its too little to buy anything valuable enough, have it framed haha

I had a part-time job when I was in college, worked as a salesgirl. Wages was barely enough to see me through the week. I spent it all on food (something really memorable, huh?)


rytnlxm (76)   ranked 1,290 out of 32,943 in life  4 years ago

Yeah,it is realy a good idea.A memorable thing that I can keep till I have grandchild.Oh,maybe some Olympic Games's bedges,I think it will increase in value.
Thank you for sharing and have a good day.

My first pay, when I got it, wasn't big. All I managed to do with it was, buy a few symbolic gifts for my elders. Got dad a shirt, mom a sari, grandpa a sweater and grandma a shawl. And with that, i had already over run my first pay :-)


rytnlxm (76)   ranked 1,290 out of 32,943 in life  4 years ago

So you didn't buy a gift for yourself?But I think your family member's happiness is the best gift for you.
