What did you spend your third transfer on?
Initially, l had a huge school fees burden; my child who is currently in form two had a problem of proceeding with his education when it reached a time that I couldn't clear the whole of form one fees, which I did with part of the third transfer. Again, I lived in a very poor house-it had turned old and I was afraid it could collapse on us anytime and therefore I buit a new one of 30 iron sheets in my home where we currrently live more comfortably, with the remaining part of the of the money.
