So, since your first payment is this special, spending it recklessly is a taboo. This is why we have come up with the top 7 ways to spend your first salary. If you can spend your first income this way, you will feel fulfilled. 7 Ways To Spend Your First Salary #1. Offset Your Debts Offsetting part of your debts is one of the ways to spend your first salary. Once you receive the alert, do a proper calculation of your debts and offset everything.

They sacrifice a lot just to make you happy and they saved from their little income to get you luxury. As a matter of fact, they worked tirelessly to ensure that you get the best. Even though money can not repay their kind gestures towards us, putting a smile on their faces will make the difference. When you buy them a nice gift, they will value it more than a million dollars. No matter or cheap the gift is, your parent will always take it special. So, try to put a smile on your parents face from your first salary. #3.

Don't forget to acknowledge God. If you believe in tithing, pay. Whatever be your view, always remember to support a genuine religious ministry. |

It depends on the salary. A 30k salary can't be enough to take care of the person first. |
