Then what did you do with your salary? Is it in your savings account or you spend it on yourself?

I will use some money for our living and some money for future savings.

Many warm congratulations to you Asha! :) :) When would you be joining?

With my first ever salary, I had bought a sari for my mum! :) I think you should consider spending a part of your first salary buying a gift for someone you love the most!!! That makes your first salary even ore memorable!

Let me share this with all of you that I am soon going to join my first job! :) I am very happy and already thinking on how should I use my first salary. :cheer: Tell me how did you spend your first pay cheque or is it still a part of your savings?

@sasi- when did you get your first salary Ram, Is it still unused? I think if it is so, you might have missed lots of interest on that if you did not invest it properly. :)

I gave it to my parents. Give it to the one who made you capable enough to earn.
Who is the pillar of your life. Buy gifts for friends, for the people you have loved.
And if anything remains buy something for yourself.. :) :).
That's what i did.

Yes they will feel happy at that time to see gift by you. You will never forget that moment in life.

To be frank. I won't consider saving for atleast first 6 months.
Enjoy till you have time. Just do what ever you have wanted to do which you were not able to do just because of the money..
You can save 5-10% if you feel like. But the saving automatically come. So keep spending it... :) :)

Savings must for every person as no one will give us money when we are needed. This savings will help us alot.

I think I am poor with savings though. ;) I have noticed that! let me have some hard earned money in my hands first, may be then I will seriously learn the importance of savings. :lol:

You sound very pessimistic here. Just because tomorrow is going to be bad ( even that too we don't know) , you can't stop living today. Yes do save and i save it too but don't forget the present which is all you have otherwise only thing you can leave behind i a bank account..

Congratulation Asha.

My first job was with Border Roads Organization in 1965. This was field posting. I was entitle to free residence, food and uniform. The starting salary including allowances was Rs. 300/-. I retained only Rs. 30/- and sent Rs 270/- to my parents.

There is some discussion on savings. My suggestion is that continue saving only 10% of your salary every month till the age of sixty years. This will grow to a very big amount then. This helps in old age when income is less.
