What was the first thing you own?

As I remember, the first thing I bought and I owned for myself is my UniSilver watch. I really can’t go out without my watch then next is my phone. I owned them through my job. I also seldom buy things because I always pay my rent and bills. So when I bought my watch and phone I feel very proud coz it paid off my hard work. Then I started buying my own TV, electric fan, DVD player and many to mention. This happened when I was living alone and renting and when I was still healthy.

Probably my first car. I paid $425 for it. But it was mine. I worked for it and loved it and took good care of it.

@JustBhem Back in the day...MAYBE. But not hardly. Nowadays you couldn't even buy a set of tires for that. I bought my first car in 1989. It was a 1980 Ford Fiesta hatchback. It served me fairly well, although I think I had to have to carburetor rebuilt something like five times and of course it suffered other problems and issues. But it was mine, and I loved it.

As hard as I tried, I couldn't remember what was the first thing I owned. Maybe a PC, but I'm not sure. I do remember being proud though, I understand ow you felt .

@JustBhem exactly. Actually, my first money came after a poetry contest, I got second prize. But that was more than 20 years ago, when I was in high school .

The first thing I purchased in my adult life right after high school was a car, a Dodge Colt. It was just basic transportation. But it was reliable, for the most part.
