What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying furniture. I had very old,worn out seats so I felt I should buy new ones. The price of kerosene was so high so I also found it good to buy a solar lamp. I no longer have to buy kerosene. The remaining I spent on buying food for my family consumption.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
Our first plan is to use part of the transfer to build a bigger sem-permanent house because this one is small. Our second plan is to use another part of the transfer to buy two cows for my wife's dowry payment. Lastly, we intend to use the remaining amount to plough our farms.
