How Did You Spend Your First Income?
« on: July 31, 2009, 12:05 PM »

AM REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW MOST PEOPLE SPEND THEIR VERY FIRST EARNED MONEY,
ITS ALWAYS SAID THAT "A CHILD USES ITS FIRST MONEY TO BUY AKARA"
DON'T REALLY KNOW IF ITS TRUE OR FALSE,
BUT I'LL REALLY LOVE TO KNOW HOW YOU SPENT YOUR FIRST EVER EARNED MONEY?[b][/b]

PLS REPLY

I give kudos to the old men, they are known for their wisdom,
that small adage is a time tested and proven one.
I spent my first income on expensive phone which got stolen
after few weeks of purchase.
But up till now i've used my last kobo on equity investment.
Now think i'm wiser

I bought beer plenty for my men. Went partying through the weekend. Gave about half to my mum. Now I am wiser as the guy said, not that I regret the life anyways!
But will those days of youth come again, I wish

I was about 5years old when I started receiving income. My two uncles who lives with us pay me to pick balls for them whenever they are playing lawn tennis and also pay me when I help them wash their cars. I made money and fell in love with my job so much that I started charging my father for services.  I had a small saving  box where I drop the earning.

I think my first accumulated income was robbed off me by a Lebanese jackpot owner. I sneaked out from church with my friends and went there with all my savings and this old man kept encouraging me to play and play in order to win big until I lost all my money. I became heart broken, started crying and went into depression after that[na N5 we de talk about here]. It pained me so much b/c I worked hard for that money. When my dad heard that I went and gambled, he whipped me like a dog but later paid me back my lost savings.

I spent mine buying cloths and and drinks
It's very interesting spending your first salary roughly

I don't think there are up to 5% who spend their first
salary wisely.

The first income i earned was as a model. That was years ago as a teenager.
I was more excited about it than the money i received for doing it, so I gave it all to my mum.

i did 3 commercials when i was 11yrs old and and through that i got a top part in a movie, all before i turned 13yrs old.
i was too young to spend any of the loot and only got 20% while the rest was put in a saving account till i was 21(thats the law). the first thing i did when i got the money at 21 was to get a FAT ride which i totalled within 2yrs!!!!!

wow j'ai comprend tout que tu dit sauf quelque mots qui je deviner. ton petit histoire est tres interesant. est-ce qu'il y a beaucoup du nigerians en france? usualement c'est les gens afrique qui vient du pays francophone qui habite en france. hmm
as u can see, mon francais est tres mal parce que je l'etudier a l'ecole et je ne utilise pas avec personne.

qu'est ce que tu fait en amerique? tu es ici pour toujours ou pour un sejour?
oh la la tu es un star en france. lol

I followed the tradition of my family gave it to my Dad and he shared it gave me the larger share and gave every1 in the family smtn.
This is done to stress the fact that all we have, we share
