What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchasing a second-hand motorcycle that my spouse is currently using for commercial purposes. With that we have experienced a very big change as we no longer suffer from payment of school fee for our children neither do we quarrel with landlord over delayed payment of rent. The remaining amount of the transfer, I spent on settling rental bills and school arrears that had accumulated for a while.
