After you step into the society,is it excited to get the first month's salary through your hard working and sweat? Certainly it is.The salary means the evaluation the society gives to you.But when we talk about ours first month's salary,your memories come flooding.So would you like to share how many money did you make in your first working month,and how did you spend?I'm still a student,so i could not share first,but i wanna you share with me.

I only started working after I graduated from university, which means that I have never gone into paid employment when I was a student. But that was OK, because that actually gave me the opportunity to concentrate on my studies instead of having to juggle between studying and working. Anyway, that aside, I started my working experience early last year (2009, in January). I earned about $3000 for the first month, which is actually quite a lot for a fresh graduate. But unfortunately, most of my first month salary went into paying for my internship programme fees. That left me with just enough money to pay for my groceries, rent and bills. So basically my first month salary was to pay off other stuff. Honestly speaking, I didn't have money to spoil myself until my 4th to 5th month working. Sad huh? But now I am in a higher paying job and my salary now I mostly keep them in my bank account to generate interest. I do spoil myself by buying stuff that I like once in a while, but I am ultimately saving for a holiday trip in the near future (and perhaps for a wedding too !).

I also want to gain this experience that how a person feel after getting his/her first salary in life. I think it is a good moments in life when a person get their first salary.

When you're in school,you want to experience in society.When you're working hard outside,you'll miss the school and family time.Such is human being.But it's just this motivation,people'll do better in life.We should be full of desire.
