Gas. Lol Most of mine was banked to pay for rent at college.
Clothes and shoes
I didn't have enough dresses.
I sure remember what Yang bought with his first check! I could have strangled him. He bought a new car stereo, the loudest "bumpin ness" one he could find! Pfft! He still apologizes for that one! Lol!
Music albums
Clothes for work. Invested some. Company had a investment plan. The rest was bills and food.
Ooops shoes too.
I had a baby before I had my first job. So my paycheck went towards formula, diapers, clothes, etc.
Way back when we were not paid by check. You received a little brown envelope with your cash pay in it. I took it home and gave it to my mom who would give me my allowance for the next week. She would use some for the house and the rest she would put away for an emergency. No emergency, when I turned twenty I would receive all the saved up cash from my salary. Unfortunately over the years there were several emergencies. LOL.
I probably just blew it on something with no intrinsic value. But I remember in the first few months at work i bought a portable radio. That was in the days before transistors and it weighed in at about 20 lbs. I can still remember the look of it and the smell of it, even after 65 years.
I honestly can't remember but some rock and roll records would be as good of a guess as any.
I don't have a pay check.
