Receiving our first salary is the most special feeling in the world. Our happiness knows no bounds after a lot of struggle and hard work, we get paid for it. It is the exciting milestone that marks the beginning of a new phase in our life.
As nice as it sounds, first salary can be tempting to spend on food, clothes or buy gifts for our family members. And this is exactly what many of us do. Either, we take out our parents to an expensive restaurant for dinner or buy them gifts. Many even spend on themselves like going out with friends, shopping etc.
However, we often forget that it is important to think beyond the immediate gratification. But, a lady teacher from Begusarai in Bihar has done the unimaginable with her first salary.
