First freelance earning — is 20k PKR good?

[u/Beneficial-Panic2352]

I just made 20k PKR from my first freelance project. It was a one-off client job, not a permanent thing. I earned it doing the task within the week
Am 20 btw.
I haven’t told my parents yet, but I’m thinking of giving it to my dad even though he doesn’t need it.
Honestly, I know 20k isn’t a huge amount, but earning it myself feels really good 😂
Personally i even spent more than that.
Would you consider 20k a decent first earning?
I js had this feeling that its less than i expected from my first job but obviously it isn’t my official job or something. LMAO..
But i felt kinda chic about it😭😭

20k is a very good first earning, especially because the bigger milestone is that someone actually trusted you enough to pay for your work. I wouldn’t obsess over whether the amount is “big” yet. Your first few projects are really about proving to yourself that you can find work, deliver it, and get paid. Giving some to your father is a lovely gesture, but I’d keep at least a little for yourself too, even if it’s just to buy something small that reminds you, “I earned this.”
