What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used a portion of my third transfer to buy sand which I am planning to use to plaster my house which I built with the second transfer in order for me live in a beautiful house like other people. I used a portion to pay school fees for my child who had been sent home for school fees, I bought a cow since I did not have livestock in my compound. The remaining amount, I spent on a sack of maize for consumption and other household utensils which I did not have.
