After my first salary , Letter to my future self
When you received your first salary, you were over the moon with excitement. You had worked so hard for months and finally, you were able to receive the fruits of your labor. You immediately thought about all the things you could buy with the money, but then you remembered the advice your parents had given you: to save some of it for the future.
So, you decided to be responsible with your money and use some of it to pay off some bills and to put some into your savings account. But you also wanted to treat yourself, after all, it was your first salary.
You went shopping and bought a new outfit that you had had your eye on for a long time. You felt so good wearing it, and you received so many compliments. You also decided to treat your friends to a night out, so you took them to a fancy restaurant and had a great time celebrating your hard-earned success.
The next day, you felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that you had made smart financial choices and had also allowed yourself to enjoy the moment. You were already thinking about how you could continue to be responsible with your money, so you could build a stable financial future for yourself.
You learned that having control over your finances and being able to enjoy life's little pleasures were important. From that day on, you made it a priority to live within your means, save for the future, and still enjoy the present. And as you continued to receive your salaries, you were able to make smart financial decisions that allowed you to build a secure and comfortable life for yourself.
Over the years, your wise financial choices paid off. You were able to save up for a down payment on a home, start a retirement fund, and even invest in a small business. You continued to live within your means and were careful with your spending, but you also allowed yourself to enjoy the little things in life.
Years later, you looked back on that first salary with pride and joy. You remembered how far you had come and how you had used that money to lay the foundation for a secure financial future. You were grateful for the lessons you had learned and the choices you had made.
And as you grew older and your financial situation became more stable, you wanted to give back to your community. You used some of your savings to start a scholarship program for young people in your area, helping them to get the education and training they needed to build successful careers.
You also became a mentor to young people in your community, teaching them about the importance of financial literacy and responsible spending. You shared your story with them and encouraged them to make smart financial choices, just as you had done.
Years later, when you retired, you were able to enjoy a comfortable and fulfilling retirement, knowing that you had worked hard and made smart financial choices to ensure your future. And as you looked back on your life, you were proud of all that you had accomplished and the legacy you had built for yourself and your community..
SO SHALL IT BE..
