as inspired by another thread, here's a motivational question! i guess this is more of a question for those of us who haven't had a real career before nursing....
what will you do with your first "real" paycheck?
i'm going straight to the salon. new cut, highlights, facial, mani, pedi...the works!
then, straight to the mall with my plastic because for the first time in my life it won't be just for "emergencies" anymore!
i can't wait!
PennyLane-i am glad i am not the only one with credit card debt. i thought i had it under control until i needed books, uniforms and everything else that goes along with school BUT i know it will pay off. :)
It's going straight towards my credit card debt. I know, I live on the wild side...But I want to get my debt under control before I sell this house and buy my next one.
I would put some in a savings/retirement account
Put some aside in a holiday fund to take my daughter to disneyworld in florida
Go out with hubby
Buy daughter something nice
and buy parents something nice as a thank you for all the help they will give me when studying
second cheque would be for home improvements probably

This just cracked me up. :chucklepay my parents bribe money to let me live in their house for another 2 years.
First paycheck as a RN...I have the bmw I want - specs, color, and all - chosen and saved at bmwusa.com. I can't wait to hit the *purchase* button after graduation!
After that, money will be spent on "Conceiving for Dummies" books and equipment, a crib, stroller...the complete baby package. It will finally be the time for my husband and me to have our first child.
*edit*
This is a great thread. It's nice to see what everyone is looking forward to!

hhhmmm that is a hard question, there are so many things! first i would have to hit the salon for sure, take the other half out for a good dinner and start saving to move south. we live in the midwest and we are really really tired of having only two months of nice weather. i want a house with a pool:rolleyes: AND it is nice to hear that i am not the only one that owes tons in student loans...
