What things did you buy with your first salary?

I had bought shoes for my parents, a dress for my sister. I had taken a Nature’s subscription for myself. It was my childhood dream to have a subscription of nature. Then I had bought bourneville chocolates for my flat mates. But most of them denied to accept it. They kept demanding me for chocolates. But when I bought for them, suddenly they chickened out. 😔😔😔 It took a lot of convincing. So, I anticipated similar move from my roommate. But Shoaib bhai was very happy for his 10₹ Munch. It was a weird experience. Then I proceeded to buy PowerAmp for my phone as everyone was super excited for it. But sadly my phone didn’t support it. It was double whammy for me. Within four days of receiving my salary, half of it was gone. A big chunk of the remaining half was gone for my rent. So, the rest 26 days was super challenging for me. I tried skipping meals. But it didn’t work out. I tried to board busses without any tickets with moderate success. Frankly my parents were lenient with me at that time. So, big lesson was learnt. If you are a salaried person then don’t act like a billionaire. 🙂🙂🙂
Almost after a decade, I would like to ask the same question, which I faced up on receiving my first paycheck, “Why did you do/what do you want to do with your first salary?”

In 2014, things like brokers etc were a bit easier. I can remember HDFC gave me two years access to HDFC securities for free. My friends had accounts with Sharekhan. I was getting mails about Zerodha. Finally I had a brief encounter with an agent who sold me useless insurances but no mutual funds. 😔😔😔 A sob story indeed. Overwhelmed with selfish demands from my friend, work related things n transition into a self dependent lifestyle, I had completely forgotten that there exist something beyond it. I wish I had started some SIPs, I wish I had bought some stocks. I will blame myself for these. I chose wrong friends. 🙂 That’s the common problem with people coming from a relatively calm, sober, peaceful and small state like Odisha. These are my post Durgapuja hangover thoughts. I am very sad today. I am feeling sad because, long festival season is already halfway. After 15days Diwali will be gone. Then I ll come newyear. But I have to wait for another year for these days to come. 😔😔😔 Time moves pretty fast n I am really really feeling weak n sad.
Tip
1) Don’t get lured by credit cards n over draft facilities of debit cards.
Deepawali shopping for family
10kg protein, 1 fitness watch, 1 earphone for work…Whole salary gone
Wahhhh
My mother kept asking for it. She wanted to offer a Poshaak & full Shringaar to Dau Maharaaj but I said no and bought shares of BHEL 😀
Paid my emi and dues for 3 consecutive salary
Nice bhai. 🙂🙂🙂
Nice bro. Kash aap muje bula lete. Me bhi khata thoda prasaad. 😔😔😔
Mobile Phone for Dad, Sarees for all ladies in family and a dress for girlfriend 
bought nothing, I transferred the entire salary to my parents (father’s account) and they bought lot of stuff for them.
Trip to mathura.
Saree for mom.
Dineout. 😄
well well well… I also wanted to spend my first salary on all the things that I wished for and on my parents n siblings, but alas had to spend nearly all of them (in fact first 2-3 months), on rent, security deposit, getting all the household electronics, kitchen stuff and basic furniture and all… Oh boy, those days were a different experience.
I don’t remember 
Indore, Tech Mahindra???
Sometimes I think, even admins can be wrong. When even god can ve wrong, admins are just humans.
Thank you @bikidas2060 bhai for this thread. Old memories back
Kept aside 5k for my item , now my ex . Should have invested in Cams with that money . Total waste
Rest deposited to my parents account
Nokia 6510..I think so.
Gifted my salary to mom,dad, grandfather and grandmother via gifts.
I move all of it to Mutual fund….after spending around 25-30% of it it on parents and mine essentials and the utilities and then ACT BROKE, saying ab zeher khaane ko paise naee ..to which my friends buy it and give it to me from their money ..coz ab tak kaa all the treats…they have to sponsor…
Nowadays fresher salary going off on petrol/diesel Vegetables fruits and daily expenses 😭😭
Fresher salary is soo pathetic.. 3lpa or even less than that since 2003… Companies ko batao inflation bhi koi chiz hoti hai.. Companies defend and say 90% of guys today are unemployable…
I too work in IT. I am sure the work ppl do here cannot be done by an unemployable guy.. it cos lies on face… The truth it.. They want to showw off profits… Build awestruck buildings and campuses and boast off to world that they are superior.. Even the companies known as Employee friendly companies treat employees as bad as they can to squeez out the last drip of blood and sweat of thier employees and pay them peanuts. The same way we read about how britishers used to treat indians before independence…
This should stop.. Few raise voices and didnt get lot attention to make anything significant against this to happen…
Please don’t post political posts here. Just tell what did you do with your salary/ want to do with your salary? That’s it. My father used to get 100 rupees as monthly salary in the late 60s. My father’s father used to get 2 rupees/month as salary. I have bought tomatoes at 2 rupees/kg. So, please don’t misdirect the topic towards anything political in nature.
LPG connection
