What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used the last cash transfer to buy a cow worth 15000 KES while 20000 I used to pay school fees for my children. I decided to buy a cow because I did not have even one cow. My main aim was to get milk from this cow in the later years that followed. I used rest of the cash to buy food for my family.
