Where Should Your First Salary Go? Your Parents Or Church? by dirk: 2:08pm On Sep 14, 2013
This question has been on my mind for some time now. On getting one's first job, it is believed by some people (especially the yoruba culture) that your first salary should go to your parents for them to bless you. On the other hand, when u get to church, we are told to "honour God with the first fruits of our increase"...this invariably means our first salary should go to the church and that it is a wayof letting God be involved in our career. Which belief should one adopt?

....and after blessing you, your parents give the money back to you... (true yoruba culture)

Abeg spend your money, you could decide to send some to your parents and serving God can also be with your body and not necessarily your salary.
