well, that depends on your priorities. if you are single and do not have someone to think about, then, probably, you will spend your salary on something that will make you happy. perhaps, any material thing that you think you will need for your daily survival.

i spent my first month salary ('twas 22 years ago LOL) for a baby clothes and other stuff. i was pregnant then when i received my first month salary.

 so, it really depends on the need of the person earning.

Several days ago I just got my first month salary, but I feel not so excited. and I accompanied my friend to KFC. The food there is terrible—I think so since 18. I am a green-hand.

Also, it's my first time here. Glad to meet you. I want to buy a DC maybe next month. The first month salary : I also want to buy someting for my mum. That's all. Thank you!
