What did you spend your first (and/or) most recent pay cheque on?

I have been working at McDonalds for a little over 4 weeks now, I worked roughly 15 hours over the first 2 weeks and got paid £60.90 (£4.35 an hour, under 18) as my first pay cheque.

I spent that money on:

-Gym Membership (£16.99 - one month)
-A pair of Nike trainers (£31)
-Tickets to Jurassic World! :biggrin: (£8.50)

Totalling £54.95. :smile:

I'm curious, what did you guy spend your first and/or most recent pay cheque on? (If you can remember of course XD)

£4 :/


I remember back in the day when i started at mcdonalds (i was still 16) and i was on £3.85 an hour. It makes you realise now how **** it was.
I don't know, I think my first pay fell on the 27th December (a few years ago now), so it was probably something in the sales. My first big purchase was probably my phone/phone contract.

Also bought a £1.6k computer & a £1.2k car, in my most recent pay, last week, I shifted half a grand across to my savings.

Did they give you the name prefix of 'slave'?

£4 is terrible. If you consider, a single burger meal costs more than £4. They serve millions of them in an hour it seems.

That was 7 years ago that i started and was on that money.
But still now, i dont get paid nearly enough for the work i do.
At my store, people are leaving left right and centre, and people arent applying. Perhaps the money might be part of the reason why.

Where is it that you currently work, if you don't mind me asking?
Finding good work is terrible nowadays it seems.
my first pay cheque was for 36 punt (pre euro irish currency) it was for working two days in my local supermarket and i was 15.

I had to give 20 of it to my grandparents for rent. And the rest not a clue, probably sweets
