What did you spend your third transfer on?
I had started constructing a permanent house but I did not complete it for lack of funds until, I received my third transfer that I spent most part of it buying building materials and paying the labourers. I am glad it is somewhere and the only remaining thing is the roofing that I am hopeful I will complete soon.
