Having a job after college is the mark of another milestone. For me it was memorable, most specially when I received my first salary, not that big though but I don't care, its the reflection of my hardship in corporate world and I deserved it. So excited, the first thing that I bought was a pair of shoes... In your own experience, what item did you splurge on your first salary? Happy MyLotting!!!

When I got my first salary, the first thing I bought was a blouse and a pair of pants which I could wear for work. My mom told me that since I was entering the corporate world, I should invest on clothes. It's really an exciting feeling when you get your first paycheck, you just want to buy lots of things. :)

My first shopping adventure when I got my first paycheck was into Sephora, I had always passed by it when i was a teenager but never had enough money to afford anything in it but I LOVE make-up so i always wanted to go in and buy stuff,,,,so my first paycheck was mostly spent on eyeshadow,lipstick,foundations, and all kinds of goodies in Sephora, it was so great, I was so happy and proud of myself

I remember that I bought crystals for my parents, my sisters and myself when I got my first salary. Then, I use the rest of my salary to eat out with my family. I think I was over spending.

I have a really funny story about my first salary. My mother is very superstitious. When I was in college, my parents allowed me to have a job while school was out. When I got my first salary, they told me that I should buy a SOUP LADDLE. According to the belief here, if you buy a soup laddle with your first salary, it would be just like laddling money towards you. I did not want to upset my mother, and besides a laddle isn't expensive at all so I did buy one! Then I went shooping for school things with the remainder of the money.

I pay off my orthodontist for my braces. My parents pay for the half and I pay for the other half. It is so nice to pay for something that you used and at the same time lessen the burden of your parent's finances.
