First PayCheck?

What would you buy with your very first real paycheck?  If u have already gotten one, what was it?


I am very curious and possibly need some inspirations.

I paid off my moving expenses haha!  When I finished paying for moving here and then my drinking during 2 weeks of training I think I bought with my next paycheck a pair of 7 jeans and a kate spade organizer (I would highly dissuade you from doing this - buy the bag instead.  You will use it more)

i think i bought this tiffany ring after my first college paycheck.  i still have it too.  i think it was like a $1000 paycheck and i had no real expenses.  i've always been happy buying jewelry (even if it's less expensive jewelry) for big events.

I was 12. I saved it for college. (It was cash, does that count? It was from working as a maid, not babysitting or something like that).

I bought shoes (as in like 5 pairs of shoes).  However, with my first bonus I bought a beautiful emerald and diamond ring.

haha go figure.  I used it religiously until december (3 months of solid use) then I got busy with work and had no outside life so I quit using it.  My darling bf reminded me today that I have tossed the thing to the side.  I *think* he knows how much it cost too but at least he doesn't know that it has green highlighter stains of the cover (thank god the highlighter that busted in my purse was green and matches the green leather - I'd never hear the end of that one)

Saved it.  I certainly spent it somehow but not in the "This is my first paycheck and it's going to a pair of shoes!"  It was just in my debit account and I used it.  Actually the latter is not a good idea, because I wasn't keeping track of how much I was spending.

When I got my first paycheck from Starbucks when I worked there in college, I bought myself a JCrew leather jacket that I still wear all the time in the winter.


Once I graduated and got a "real" job, I saved my paycheck to cover moving expenses and setting up my first apartment.

I have no idea- it was so long ago! I was in high school, so I probably just put it in the bank for college since my parents still provided me with necessities (and also I was 13 so too young to do anything by myself!)

First "real" paycheck went toward living expenses and paying of the CC bill that I racked up while looking for work.

My first paycheck ever in HS... I don't remember. Probably just saved it.

My first pacheck from "real" after college job... don't remember. I don't think I bought anything specifically to celebrate. Six months later once I had saved up I bought my LV Speedy, that was the present to myself for having a "real" job.

I was 15 when I got my first paycheck. I think it went into savings for college.


My first paycheck from my first job out of college went directly to moving expenses.


My first paycheck from my first job in my field went to bills and savings.


I am so exciting.

I got my first paycheck not too long ago. I didn't spend one dime! I saved it all.

I had my first real job in the summer when I was 17.  I'm not quite sure what the first thing was, but I do remember purchasing items from Alloy, Delias, GLFA, and the Sanrio catalogs!  I had to look cool for my senior year of high school. Sure loved getting packages delivered by UPS!   I also gave my bedroom a Martha Stewart makeover. 


Anyways, I remember some of the items:


Skechers platform sneakers


The coolest Roxy messenger school bag


Black jacket with faux fur collar
