What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the larger part of my third transfer on cementing my house into a semi-permanent house from a mud one and now I am relieved from the burden of searching for cow-dung in the whole village on my neighbors homestead who owned cattle which was time consuming and that time I have saved for other developmental duties . I also bought two bags of maize for my family's consumption and paid school fees for my child who is in high school.
