Fork
You used your first salary to buy a fork? Amazing!!
My first ever salary was 7k, I don't remember what I spent it on but I felt very happy that I had started earning money with my own hands. The feeling didn't last tho

I Sent part to my parents for their first fruit prayer for me, then spent the other to buy gold jewelry. It is still investment cos it increases in value.

Re: How Did You Spend Your First Salary ? by Freethinker87: 3:49pm On Oct 17, 2022
My first job was at a factory. I was among the 1st set employed by this "big name" company when they came to Nigeria. We were being paid for the duration of the 3 months training. Like we were doing no production but getting paid. Life was good! For my first month, I gave my mum half of my salary, I visited Yaba and bought some good OK clothes. Then I spent the rest on suya and other nonsense that interested a 16 years old.

Back then I didn't drink, I had no girlfriend and no responsibilities. It was just me and my money.

By the 3rd month, I was already trying out Gordon spark, I had a girlfriend, and mum c has gradually offloaded some responsibility to me. The money no come dey reach me again. Fear women!

Used it to change my phone back then.

About 70k.

About three years later, I made N1.5 million via crypto and I upgraded from a Tecno Pourvoir Pro to a Redmi 10 Pro and a Samsung A52 at once.

I just took advantage of the hype that season and invested in a few coins.

I prefer to identify cheap coins with good potentials, invest and wait for the right time to cash out.

15k.

I bought a combat jean and T-shirt for myself, one fine slippers for my mum (she was very happy) and took my siblings out to buy them suya later that night.

I reserved 2k which I spent little by little on Maris my chewing gum girlfriend that year. grin





Nigeria was sweet then, 15k can only buy you one jean now with abeg abeg.

Fear women! My friends adviced me not to tell my mum how much I earned and i didn't, but somehow she found out and gave me appropriate responsibility to carry.

I should have acted poor.

It was #23,000 back then in 2007. I removed transport fare and gave my mum the remaining. I don't need money for anything then. Sometimes I don't touch my salary till another one will meet it there. Good ol' days. My dad, my big sis and my bf, turned hubby made sure I lacked nothing then. Just wanted to work for working sake.
