Do you still remember the first thing you bought with your own money?
After a lovely and long overdue chat with an old friend from my first job, I (Sethia) was left wondering about what you, dear members, first bought with your own money! I first worked as an English teacher for Japanese students, and as soon as I got my first salary, I spent it on a nice dinner at home with my grandparents.
Unfortunately, my grandfather was already battling stage four cancer at the time, and this was one of the last few memorable moments I spent with him. They are huge fans of Chinese food, so I ordered a variety of dumplings, fried rice, and sweet and sour pork. It's very humbling to think about, especially now that I can afford to order takeaway whenever I feel like it. But back then, we could only afford to do these things on special occasions. And considering how much they have both sacrificed to make me who I am today, it was the least I could do to show them how much they both meant to me.
