The first time you earned money for yourself is always something everyone find special. For me is something I can't forget because it was also special for me as well. That feeling of getting paid for the first time after a hard work you did is so remarkable and exciting. For me I always have a lot of thought what I am going to do with my first earning or salary. My plans were to buy my siblings gifts, get some clothes and stuff for myself because I truly love my siblings and myself. I also planned taking my friends for a treat, anyway we all have different plans on how we are going to spend our my earning. Before all this could take place, there most be a job to start with lol. All my planning starts as soon as I start my job.
I received my first earning when I decided to take a job as a lesson teacher for a boy in junior secondary school one (Jss1). I teach this boy mathematics at home, because I was really good at mathematics. Teaching one kid I was less excited about it lol, but what I was looking up to was the money independence it would bring me, I have to focus and put more effort. Actually the has to last one month, so what was going through my mind was the things I will do with my first earning and how I will spend it.
After one month I received my salary for the job well done. My earned 30,000 Naira as my salary. I was so happy when I received the money and I was so proud of myself that very day. Earning that money made me feel independent and is also a reward for my hard work.
How I Spend My Earning
The first thing I did after I received my salary was to remove some amount of money as savings. Then I went to the market and bought some gifts for my parents, because they are always there for me supporting with advice and also in my decision making. I bought my dad black shoes, and my mom a nice women hand bag. I also get some gifts for my siblings and finally, me and my friends went to a restaurant to chill. I won't forget I also got myself some new clothes and shoes.
Earning this money, it gives me confidence because I am now financially independent. I don't have to ask my parents money anymore and I can now pay some of my bills. My first earning open my eyes to seek and chase more money. Once you started earning some money, my dear you won't stop chasing for more
