money makes the world go around as a song implies. many of us don't have the opportunity of having our own money even though we are nor born yet. some of us are working really hard to earn it. as of now, i don't have any work and is still dependent on the support of my parents. i talked with my fellow classmate today and she told me that when she will have her own salary, the first thing that she is going to do is to buy her aunt a gift because she really helped her a lot when she was still a student. what about you? what was the best thing that you bought for self with your own salary? were you able to give someone a gift for something that s/he has/had done to you? who was it and what was the reason for giving the gift?

well, i really cannot remeber. and to be honest i never really had my own money of a big sum. when i got money, i usually buy shoes, bags, blouses, nothing expensive. nothing that i cannot afford! but someday when i will be earning so much, i want to buy my own car! not really fancy but in a good condition.:) but i guess i eill still have to save for it!:) i want to get myself a rolex watch too! hope mylot will be increasing our earnings everytime we reply or post so that i could earn for my car and rolex watch!

For my first salary, I bought myself a mobile phone. It's a big thing for me already because I usually would just want to buy new clothes. Then I gave money to my parents and I offered to pay some of the house bills. It's the best I can do to relieve my parents from all those burdens.

Every year I try to buy myself one big gift, something I wouldn't usually buy, that I have to save up for, and something too personal to ask anyone else to get me. One year I bought myself a garnet bracelet, another year a garnet and diamond ring, and once I bought myself a big box of CDs by my favourite Croatian singer. In 2004 I went to Toronto for a week, and in 2007 I went to Arizona.
