What did you spend your first salary on?

Good morning and Happy Friday. Hoping this will be a somewhat lighthearted and reminiscent thread. What did you do with your first ever salary? I took the family out for a meal and the rest I’m pretty sure went to myself, including clothes and shoes...

Hookers and cocaine.

Well it is many decades ago now - but reckon it was rent and fuel for the car to get me back and fro form work.

... Going back to early 1964 (ouch!) I was encouraged by my mum to give, as a gift, a large amount of my first weekly pay to my granny.

It was a family tradition and mum took nothing for my 'keep' from that first pay. I worked full time and I think my gross weekly wage was about £5. I felt rich - and in the circumstances I was rich. Happy days indeed.

Cant remember that far back, I may have saved some of it, maybe I bought a console game.

My first paycheque started to pay off my student overdraft.

Several paycheques later I had a modest smart-for-a-student work wardrobe, and (to the awe of several fellow students), I bought a freezer & had it delivered to our university flat.

We were cutting edge with kitchen kit - we had a freezer & microwave long before they were commonplace & it helped our finalists focus on the important stuff as one day a week was cleaning shopping & cooking & the rest we ate proper food largely pre-prepared by ourselves.

My parents were just so relieved I was out of debt.

I bought industrial quantities of this and started an inane and vacuous thread (on inappropriate boards) about every one of them....

I bought an iPod to replace my Archos MP3 player, which I intended to give to my brother as a hand me down, but which then promptly died literally that day, presumably of shame.
