The first day of the month is undoubtedly the best day of the month all because you receive the fruits of your efforts; your salary. Whether it is your first salary or you’ve been earning for a while, chances are you have a list of things that you want to do with your hard earned money. In case you don’t have a list, we are here to help you.

1.Buy something you’ve always wanted:

Everyone has something they’ve always wanted. It could be a gaming console, a cycle or even a hover board but we all have that one thing that we wanted to buy. Save up for it or spend all your money, but you must buy what you truly desire.

2.Pay off your debts:

Sometimes we end up spending more than we have and are forced to borrow from our friends. Make it a point to repay your friends the moment you get your salary because there is nothing better than living debt-free.

3.Thank those who helped you:

Our friends are always there to help us when things go bad and these acts of kindness cannot be repaid in cash. The best thing to do is to show your appreciation by buying them something that they would not otherwise buy for themselves.

4.Start investing:

If you’ve just started working and are early in your career, chances are you want to spend all your money going places and buying things. But while you should spend some money on yourself, it is also best to invest some for a rainy day.

5.Get a tattoo

Another good place to spend your money would be to get yourself inked. It is something that will remain for a long time so make sure you get something interesting.

6.Help someone

It doesn’t hurt to help someone in need. While we don’t expect you to spend all your money on doing that, putting aside a little and helping the poor or proving a meal for a few will definitely go a long way in helping them and make you feel better.

7.Go on a trip:

You’ve always wanted togo on a trip with your friends, but the one thing holding you back was money. The moment you get your salary, we suggest you give your friends a call and plan out a trip. But make sure to not spend everything on that trip though.

8.Pamper yourself:

Go out for a fancy dinner, spend some dough on a late night movie or treat yourself to something crazy; but pamper yourself. No matter how you choose to pamper yourself, you have earned the right to take it easy.

9.Get a gym membership:

Fitness is just as important as earning a buck. If you are fit you can work well, and if you are working you can earn a buck, and if you are earning a buck you can spend some on a gym to stay fit. So subscribing to a good gym must be one of the top things on your list of things to do with your salary.

10.Thank your parents:

Whether your friends were around or not, your parents were definitely there for you from the start. Show them some love and buy them something that will let them know how much you love them and appreciate their support.

While there are so many things you could do with your salary, following the list is your best chance at having a peaceful month while not having to worry about much, except for ways on how to make it the rest of the month after your spending spree.
