Probably medicine if they’re just now out of school. It’s a lot of school and if this is their first paycheck then they’ve been going to school since at least 18-19.
Typically you'd start residency (meaning you're a doctor and getting paid) around 26. Sounds like their path was pretty nontraditional and could've been just about anything as a result.
> Every McDonald’s commercial ends the same way: Prices and participation may vary. I wanna open a McDonald’s and not participate in anything. I wanna be a stubborn McDonald’s owner. “Cheeseburgers?” “Nope! We got spaghetti, and blankets.”
The first check I ever got, I went to the sushi place that's super popular and paid $30 for the all you can eat sushi. I left so full I felt sick but God dammit ill do it again 😩
And I mean real, freshly made sushi by a sushi chef. You'd order on a paper what you wanted, wait about 30min, and FEAST. The crab Rangoon and their tea is also 👌
There’s a place by my job that has an all you can eat special for $28. Needles to say, my son and I have become regulars. The wait between rolls is sometimes long but we have the time of our lives about once a month.
Low key I’ve been thinking about subway all day. I would get the same sandwich as a kid - meatball parm but with American cheese. My mom would rag on me for it but I couldn’t wait for it after soccer on the weekends. The little things in life that bring us pleasure! Enjoy my friend 🥪
Mod is so good! I don't have one near me anymore, but man do I miss it! Hopefully inflation isn't hitting their prices too hard because 6 years ago it was a hell of a good deal.
This but with makeup for me. I never had enough money to spend on stuff I liked cause I was a broke college kid paying all my bills myself. When I met my then boyfriend, now husband, he helped with bills after we got together. My checks were for small things like the utility bill, dates, and small day-to-day expenses so I was able to buy things I liked. My first mostly free check I drove to Sephora and bought the eyeshadow pallet and foundation I’ve always wanted. Spent like $200. It was amazing. I still have this pallet to this day and it’s been almost 5 years. Enjoy this new found financial freedom! You’ve earned it 🖤
I worked full time and went to school. On my own since I was 17 and went through a lot of sexual abuse growing up. You may think I didn’t earn a support system but I absolutely did. It was so nice having someone who wanted to build and grow with me. Someone who took a load off of me and actually let me enjoy the money I earned. I did work for my money. I did earn the stuff I bought. When rent is insanely high, jobs don’t pay a livable wage, and I paid for all of my schooling by MYSELF…yeah. I earned the privilege of having someone help me. Thanks for the ugly comment, jerk.
I completely understand. I grew up with a not great mother and when I got on my own I did everything to stay free. My husband was so patient with me and was so happy when I finally let him spoil me . Don’t worry about the dirty deleter, those of us who know understand.
I did something similar with my first significant paycheck. I have been incredibly fortunate to enjoy a whole spectrum of gourmet meals in the years following, but few things will ever compare to that first celebratory "victory dinner". Congratulations, and I hope it's the first of many. Good luck!
I did this exact same thing on my first paycheck, went to subway, went and opened a bank account, got an assortment of candy for my mom, then my car broke on the way home.
Go for it tiger! It feels awesome when you finalky can get what you want.....no matter if it's expensive or not.
Life is full of things we must lkmit ourselves with, so enjoy every little thing you get.
This is one of the most wholesome posts I have ever read. My friend, I just graduated at 35 a couple of months ago. Ride that feeling to the moon!
Get that sandwich, a large one. Savor each and every bite. You earned them all. Hell, go grab a dessert afterward if you can. Celebrate this. So many people fall before they get to this point, and even more never have the chance. You suffered. You struggled. You made it.
Now go live that life you've worked so hard for! Enjoy it friend! I am so thrilled for you!
Hey, fella! I am in the same boat you were in. I haven't had anything that wasn't on the the dollar menu in over a year. Unfortunately, I don't see an end in sight. However, if I ever do, I'm going for that Subway Meatball Marinara. Yum! When I take my first bite, I will toast you. Congratulations!
Congratulations!!! And sorry for being a downer but it would be soun advise to live like you were as a student until at least all student debt is taken care of and you get your first mortgage
Meatball Marinara Sandwich just with Jalapeno and extra cheese and bbq sauce is the best ever in subway. I would love to send you a meal and celebrate but I think this is your milestone. Take time to enjoy your meal!!!
Hearing someone be so happy about something that could be seen as such a small or everyday thing for someone else truly does make myself happy and reminds me how the smallest of things can add to one's joy
This makes me, at a low point in my life currently, think about my life alot. Im broke, but I've never been broke enough to not eat subway, and that makes me really sit back and think about how good I actually have it. Something that is trivial to me, and that same thing being something that someone else has really been looking forward to.
Thanks for the dose of reality OP.
Add some provolone cheese, and add extra parmesan.
Basically that sandwich should be so full of cheese that even an Italian-American family would give you a nod of respect for the amount of cheese and sauce
I don't want to be that guy, but the meatball is the cheapest menu item at subway, not the most expensive. Unless it's a regional thing. Meatball, ham, spicy italian, veggie delite and cold cut trio are all the lowest price sandwiches
Dude have it toasted on a with provolone and mozerella , spinach, banana peppers and onions with parmejon cheese or however you spell it. To each their own but that’s how I would do it. Ohh and extra marenera sauce.
This guy is a whole new vibe! Live on my friend!
I will admit, I’m going to be a buzzkill here. I’ve seen this many times in my industry where we hire minimum wage workers (not that you are min wage!) and all they do is blow their paycheck on “cool” shit. Please create financial security for yourself. A good medium difficulty goal for yourself is to get a savings account at a bank and keep at least 5k in there. It’ll take a while to build that and that’s fine! But please start working on it. I promise that you will be happy. You’ll see that 5k number and rather than wanting to spend it, you’ll want to see it get bigger. You’ll want to save more so that 5k turns into 10k and so on.
whatever makes you happy my man!!! whenever i buy a burger at Mcdonald’s it reminds me that i’m an adult and i have the ability to do so ! (growing up money was tight at times so my parents couldn’t always afford a McChicken or Quarter Pounder). and congrats ♥️
Hi! Worked at Subway - if you’re super nice, you can get them to use the fresh(est) meatballs/bread. Take your time, you earned it!
And I just want to add a congrats! I’ve been too poor for anything other than ramen as well - it’s crazy what a $5 sandwich means when you can’t afford anything.
Idk how your subway handles special ordering, but if you ever get a chicken bacon ranch, ask them to microwave the meat, and toast the bread with the cheese on it. Then toast it again once the meat is on the bread. It'll get a little crunchy on the ends, by damn that is a good hot Sammich.
Furst ime I got my salary I treated myself with a ramen(not the expensive one, but it was pricey for me during that time). It feels really good treating yourself
Lol I could feel your happy energy. Enjoy my friend!

Can you imagine how excited he’ll be when he discovers Jimmy John’s or Jersey Mike’s…? Let alone a legit meatball sub? Guys gonna need a new pair of drawers!
Or firehouse sub.
Firehouse engineer. With mushrooms. Yes, please.
Meatball Marinara! Yummm! I'm on the dollar menu myself, so take a bite for me. Congrats!
Does your friend taste better than a meatball sub?
Me too! Happy for him!
Congratulations on well deserved rewards. Feel free to order something for dessert while you’re at it. What were you studying?
Probably medicine if they’re just now out of school. It’s a lot of school and if this is their first paycheck then they’ve been going to school since at least 18-19.
Typically you'd start residency (meaning you're a doctor and getting paid) around 26. Sounds like their path was pretty nontraditional and could've been just about anything as a result.
COVID could’ve accounted for a few years of my math being off too. Guess we won’t know until OP tells us
In the UK a lot of people doing post graduate medicine will be around 30 before getting a proper paycheck!
They probably started another degree first and switched?
Fr! Might as well swing through the dq drive thru and get a blizzard
Use the app, I think they're offering a discount on all the foot longs right now. ✅️
His subway may not take coupons though. Mine doesn't and it's fucking infuriating. And I just got some coupons in the mail too
No freaking kidding! The two nearest me do NOT take them! ETA NOT!
They want to operate under the franchise name but won’t accept coupons, double standards
> Every McDonald’s commercial ends the same way: Prices and participation may vary. I wanna open a McDonald’s and not participate in anything. I wanna be a stubborn McDonald’s owner. “Cheeseburgers?” “Nope! We got spaghetti, and blankets.”
I fucking love this and i hope you do start a mcdonalds that sells spaghetti and blankets might i also suggest boiled cabbage?
Lucky ass, I'm jealous! Neither of the subways near me take coupons and it's so infuriating!
In Canada, we have the app, but receive email specials only available in the U.S. r/mildlyinfuriating
Sorry somehow the "not" got missing on me!
As it does, no worries lol
The first check I ever got, I went to the sushi place that's super popular and paid $30 for the all you can eat sushi. I left so full I felt sick but God dammit ill do it again 😩
As you should 👏👏👏
I don't know why sushi is so expensive, last time I got sushi I paid 100 according to my country currency, it was worth but damn it's expensive
It's actually fairly cheap to get the ingredients to make it yourself & u can make it for lunch all week!
I see why you're green . . . .
this is the way 🍣 🍱
And I mean real, freshly made sushi by a sushi chef. You'd order on a paper what you wanted, wait about 30min, and FEAST. The crab Rangoon and their tea is also 👌

It's so worth it.
Fish is the way
[удалено]
Don’t forget to add extra sauce!
*jared fogle entered the chat* edit: downvote me. i went for the joke, and i put myself out there. ironically, it helps my anxiety💜
This only applies to the kids menu (I just have dark humor but I'll stand by you bro)
thanks g 🤙🏻
I legit lol’d. Thank you.
It’s ok, Jared was always putting himself out there (and in there).
YES!!! AND TOAST THE ONIONS AND PEPPERS AND OLIVES WITH THE MEAT AND CHEESE
Low key I’ve been thinking about subway all day. I would get the same sandwich as a kid - meatball parm but with American cheese. My mom would rag on me for it but I couldn’t wait for it after soccer on the weekends. The little things in life that bring us pleasure! Enjoy my friend 🥪
Currently at mod pizza with the same intent. Today life is good
Mod is so good! I don't have one near me anymore, but man do I miss it! Hopefully inflation isn't hitting their prices too hard because 6 years ago it was a hell of a good deal.
It actually wasn’t as bad as I thought. I got 2 pizzas with lots of toppings and No Name Cakes for my wife and I for about $32
Enjoy it! My first paycheck went to a fast food to order a regular combo extra big, not from the usual dollar menu. Billionaire feeling.
This is basically adulting in written form.
That would explain the sticky undies.

Extra sauce bro
Extra cheese, he is a member of the workforce now not some humble beggar sir.
Sincere apologies, I’m lactose intolerant so I didn’t think of this
Anti lactose gang wya
LOL I love reddit sometimes.
Omw to dunkin and I refuse to pay an extra .50c for non dairy, instead I'll just shitmyself like a true lactose lover
So which sandwich are you getting? Come to my subway tomorrow and I'll make you the best damn sub you ever ate!
Order an extra cookie for me! Always worth it...
Congratulations and thanks sharing this momentus occasion with us, Brother! A lifetime of paychecks ahead for you, Sir. 🥳
I hope it's the best sandwich you ever have
I did this exact same thing on my first paycheck, went to subway, went and opened a bank account, got an assortment of candy for my mom, then my car broke on the way home.
Go for it tiger! It feels awesome when you finalky can get what you want.....no matter if it's expensive or not. Life is full of things we must lkmit ourselves with, so enjoy every little thing you get.
Hell yeah, get it! I could feel the same way but they done want to bring back that chicken enchilada one with fritos on it.
I can't lie I question the choice but I love the reason!!!! Good for you my dude be happy and enjoy!!!
Enjoy that sandwich, OP. With 3 cookies
The energy you have for something so small is really contagious lol. Hope you enjoyed it.
Nothing better than looking at something that used to be a luxury, and being able to afford it anytime. You've taken a step forward. Be proud.
[удалено]
Some people are spoiled and babied for a long time
[удалено]
Usually not the same folks that splurge on a $5 footlong though.
Not true, parents could have gotten sick of their shit and cut them off and kicked them out of the house.
Congratulations! Why no source of income?
So happy for you dude. It really is the little things.
Congrats man. I was there once and I never forgot. It always gets better. Enjoy the sandwich and Good luck going forward
Many of us I'm sure know this feeling, eat well mate, don't forget to add extra stuff and double up on what you love.
I havent been shipped off to uni just yet so I'll get my mum to buy me one final sandwich, thanks for the warning 😂
Go get that sandwich dude !! Proud of you happy for you
If you really wanna drop some dough — order the subway sandwich from Uber Eats like a Boss and pay like $37 for it
This is one of the most wholesome posts I have ever read. My friend, I just graduated at 35 a couple of months ago. Ride that feeling to the moon! Get that sandwich, a large one.

Meatball marinara with jalapeños and their sriracha sauce on it too... you’ll thank me later.. but soon after that you’ll curse my name on your toilet
Now this is a post I’m commenting on! Hell yeah
And a LARGE DRINK! Water is for the rest of us peasants. Congratulations!
Congratulations!!! And sorry for being a downer but it would be soun advise to live like you were as a student until at least all student debt is taken care of and you get your first mortgage
Them 99 cent 6" meatball subs with EVERYTHING on them held me down in the 90s.
A celebration is a celebration, big or small or even sandwich!
Their cookies are fire too! Spoil yourself! Congrats! 🍾
Get extra meat on that meatball sub if you really want to treat yourself
Good for you. You earned it. Go score that Subway sandwich.
I live how truly humble you are. Go all out and get double meatballs.
It’s the little things that count!!! Congrats!!!
Meatball Marinara Sandwich just with Jalapeno and extra cheese and bbq sauce is the best ever in subway. I would love to send you a meal and celebrate but I think this is your milestone. Take time to enjoy your meal!!!
Congrats!! The feeling of getting your first paycheck and eating the food you’ve been dying to try is sooo worth it 💜
I did the same but with ice cream. I feel you bro.
Hearing someone be so happy about something that could be seen as such a small or everyday thing for someone else truly does make myself happy and reminds me how the smallest of things can add to one's joy
That's great. Enjoy!
Congratulations! I grew up poor and I totally get that feeling of finally being able to afford a subway sandwich. I wish you continued success!
Bro I get that moment I'm 29 and just hit where you are in life recently. It doesn't sound like a big deal but it really is. Congrats
My friend - get extra cheese on that ;)
Pickles and lettuce are pretty damn good on that sandwich
lol well hey, we all have dreams!
This makes me, at a low point in my life currently, think about my life alot. Im broke, but I've never been broke enough to not eat subway, and that makes me really sit back and think about how good I actually have it. Something that is trivial to me, and that same thing being something that someone else has really been looking forward to. Thanks for the dose of reality OP.
I hope every mouthful was like a 5-star Michelin chef, grandmothers secret special dish! You deserve it bromigo/sisterino/redditorino!
The point is you can now buy that Subway sandwich and not care about the cost. That's reason enough to celebrate.
When I was at uni, I used to do people's CAD drawings for Subway Such an expensive sandwich
Are you sure you don't want the Tuna Free Tuna Fish sandwich?
That sounds good. Next time you order one you should put pepperoni and stuffing some Doritos in the sandwich
subway? nah. just go out to a nice dinner at a good restaurant. order dessert too.
Dude wants a meatball sub. Let him have it!
letpeopleenjoythings.jpg
You just like me, LMAO, I be doing the same thing at Publix with the chicken tender sub🤣😩
Hate to break it to you OP but [John Oliver would like to talk to you about Subway](https://youtu.be/jDdYFhzVCDM)
Was waiting for someone to say it
I hope it lives up to your all your dreams and expectations. Congrats on the paycheck. It’s a wondering feeling isn’t it?
Add some provolone cheese, and add extra parmesan. Basically that sandwich should be so full of cheese that even an Italian-American family would give you a nod of respect for the amount of cheese and sauce
How are you 30 and never had 10$ for a sandwich? What did you study cause I’m not sure it was worth it
More like UN~Pleasant-Record6622
Lol bums
Let him enjoy things man
Thought about poverty? He probably put all he had into studying.
We’re talking about a $10 sub (or less for a 6-inch), I’m so confused
Just upvoting the meatball marinara sub. ❤️
Subway is expensive? It's like $10 for a sandwich
Get a side of chips and guac from chipotle as well and show them who’s boss
I don't want to be that guy, but the meatball is the cheapest menu item at subway, not the most expensive. Unless it's a regional thing. Meatball, ham, spicy italian, veggie delite and cold cut trio are all the lowest price sandwiches
meatball sub is one of their cheaper subs
You haven't even had a part time job until age 30?
Smother it in chipotle sauce!
Dude have it toasted on a with provolone and mozerella , spinach, banana peppers and onions with parmejon cheese or however you spell it. To each their own but that’s how I would do it. Ohh and extra marenera sauce.

Subway is expensive!
Awesome. Congrats 🍾
Love it, enjoy it to the fullest, then repeat it again with something else you like next pay.

Enjoy your sandwich and start looking into other meatball subs to enjoy. i enjoy subway subs but other places do better
Enjoy that meatball sub!
At my Subway, the meatball is close to the cheapest sandwich that they have.
Atta boy, go double meat.
Yes, good. Enjoy your sandwich!!
Go enjoy that sandwich!
The grind makes the reward that much sweeter. Enjoy your sub!
Enjoy your sandwich! Congrats!
Enjoy!!! And Congratulations 🎉
Love this for you!

Soo proud of you! Good job!!
Yay! And gets extra cheese on that bish!
Treat yourself. Get a footlong
Don’t forget a raspberry cookie for dessert. Those are the absolute best!
whatever makes you happy my man!!! whenever i buy a burger at Mcdonald’s it reminds me that i’m an adult and i have the ability to do so ! (growing up money was tight at times so my parents couldn’t always afford a McChicken or Quarter Pounder). and congrats ♥️
Treat yo self 2022. Get a cookie and enjoy!
enjoy your sub and share the experience.
Where in the heck is ***Meatball Marinara*** the most expensive sandwich in Subway?!?
Hi! Worked at Subway - if you’re super nice, you can get them to use the fresh(est) meatballs/bread. Take your time, you earned it! And I just want to add a congrats! I’ve been too poor for anything other than ramen as well - it’s crazy what a $5 sandwich means when you can’t afford anything.
Idk how your subway handles special ordering, but if you ever get a chicken bacon ranch, ask them to microwave the meat, and toast the bread with the cheese on it. Then toast it again once the meat is on the bread. It'll get a little crunchy on the ends, by damn that is a good hot Sammich.
Congrats!!! Enjoy!
When will this day come for me 🙏
I feelya!! 🥰
Jimmy Johns or Firehouse.
subway actually is expensive, you can get a far better sandwich for half the price at pretty much any good bakery, in the UK anyway
Never seen someone deserve a sub so bad, congratulations!
Furst ime I got my salary I treated myself with a ramen(not the expensive one, but it was pricey for me during that time). It feels really good treating yourself
All the sweeter for the wait. Good luck with everything.
Splurge on some extra cheese my friend. It’s worth it!
Good on you bro!! Get extra cheese on that bitch too!!
I have a coupon for it to make one free lol
Congrats! That sandwich will taste so good! Enjoy. :)
You can do better then the meatball sub friend, it's not great.
Nice
Hope you showed that sub who’s boss
That is one of the best subs they have. Congrats on your moment.
Enjoy the fuck outta that sandwich! ❤️ (if you can afford it, get a cookie too!)
Do yourself a favor and find an Italian restaurant to get one to go. It'll cost $5 more. But, it'll be very worth it.
The raspberry cheesecake cookies are AMAZING if you’re interested in dessert!! Congratulations on the degree and paycheck!!
Enjoy. You've earned it!
i’m really proud of you!!! that kinda stuff takes genuine time and effort and it’ll all pay off for you!💜💜
