What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent most of my third transfer to pay school fee for my two children who were preparing to sit for their final exams. I must attest that the last transfer came at the right time when these children needed a lot of money in order to continue staying in school and prepare adequately for their exams. Were it not for the transfer, my children would have not sat for the exams but rather dropped out of school. In addition, I purchased them basic needs that they required in school since they were boarders.
