The First Thing My Salary Paid For

Loading player...
Do you remember your very first payslip?

That moment when you earned your own money and finally saved up for something that felt big.

We asked: What was the first thing you ever saved up for when you started working?

From first cars and phones to helping out at home and a few “what was I thinking?” purchases the stories are nostalgic, honest and so relatable.

It’s the kind of conversation you’ll want to share with friends, family, or even bring up at your next braai.

Press play and take a trip back to your humble beginnings. 💛
