What did you spend your third transfer on?
I had arrears of my daughter who is in secondary school, so when I received my third transfer, I spent part of the money on clearing the arrears. I am a sickler and I had to spare some amounts for my treatment. I am hopeful that I will get well. The remaining I spent on daily family needs for my household.
