What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the whole my third transfer on construction of a house in order to vacate the rental house that I was living in for the last 7 years. I longed for a house for so long but could not acquire any. I was extremely poor, something that led to my separation with my spouse who ended up leaving for another marriage with our three children. I am so happy that I no longer suffer from poverty and I have been assured of marrying again. I am so pleased with the organization.
