What did you spend your third transfer on?
I bought a bull to help us in ploughing we have two small bulls that are not able to be used to ploughing so we saw it fit to buy a much bigger one to supplement, I also used this transfer to pay school fees for my daughter who is in a disabled school she was previously receiving scholarship from a well wisher but he since has stopped so we have been paying for her fees hoping that this will change soon because her fees is expensive.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I own a poultry farm which earns my family enough revenue. I didn't have any reasonable source of income and that is why I couldn't initiate any project.
