I stared at my first big check for a while. I did not want to deposit it or cash it because I knew that it would be gone after that. It was just nice to see the figures and know that I actually had that much money for a while.
I do remember! I started a savings account at the bank and put a big chunk of the check into it. Then I bought dinner for the whole family and took my mom shopping the next day.
First time I got a check for something I had actually earned, I went out and spent it on a ton of sweets...I was just so happy to have gotten money for the first time.
First time I got a big amount of money I went on a holiday. Bought train tickets, booked a hotel, packed my stuff and off I went! Probably one of the best vacations ever.
I never had a big check haha, but I remember my first pay check, directly to the bank! I did had a thousands of euros check once, but just for some minutes, it was the check that the bank gave me to buy my house.
It was a clothes shopping spree for me, now that i look back, i wish i had dabbled in the stock market and probably save a little instead of blowing it all away like that, it's regrettable if i may say so .
I woul not say am proud of what I did with my first big check, I went crazy did not even bank it ,because I thought it would take to long, I cashed it out at a broke and went crazy with shopping and eating all kinds of foods at different restaurants.
