I think I’m going to dominate this thread. $1,130
daily?
I wish. Weekly
what’s up with these questions? what degrees people have, how much they’re making, how much we’re contributing to our 401(k)…what’s next? you certainly wouldn’t cut it as a skilled interrogator, but you could always just join the IRS…
I think it was about $350 from the pizza place I worked when I was 15 - and I was elated. $1130 – you must have made better pizzas than I did.
well, since we’re talking about FIRST paychecks…my first was about $320. i was working 40 hours a week at $8 an hour at a regional insurance company during the summer before college. my responsibilities entailed more menial tasks than you can probably imagine, as well as dreaming about the day that i’d make my superiors at that company…
Whatever $35,000/24 is.
a couple hundred bucks probably. About 10 yrs go now when I was in jr high. Painted my dad’s garage and helped clean around the yard etc. Real work…taught me well
I used to sell golf balls when I was 11 years old since I lived near a golf course. I made $10 my first Saturday selling. Boy was I rich!

Guys, why do you call salary payments a “paycheck”?
$480 …I was an undergrad research monkey for a 70 yr old professor. I remember immediately blowing it on a new stereo and binge drinking…ahh those were the days.
When I was 15. . . probably like $100 for two weeks of part-time work. Killer, huh?
I used to save most of my money for trips and my first vehicle, which I bought myself. Wish I could maintain those savings rates today!!
I started young as an entrepreneur selling candy bars at school; all the clubs would do this as fundraisers, so I would just claim I was involved in that when actually I was adding ~50 bucks a week to my savings account. Thats a lot of money for a kid in middle school. When I was 10, I also washed dishes at a local bakery for $10 a weekend + all the sweets I wanted (I would turn around and sell those to my parents weekend guests at home). I wish I still had this type of go-getter spirit 
I worked all summer as a camp counselor for $200 paid in monthly installments of $66.66.
Can’t exactly remember I guess $200+ but after you take taxes and the such it was probably $150.
I worked as a camp counselor for $400 for the 8 week summer. I think I was paid bi-weekly installments of $100. It came out to somewhere around $1.10/hour.
$3/hr babysitting.
My first job was working for my dad for the summer when I was 13, he bought me a bike for about $400, my first and only paycheque. Compared to my $3.50 allowance I thought I’d hit the lottery. It was a sweet deal to start, I had a new bike and hadn’t even worked a day. By the end of the summer I realized that my dad was a tad brighter than me.
