What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on paying Secondary school fee for our child to support his consistent learning (10,000 KES), 3 bags of dry corn for food ( 9,000 KES) since we did not harvest much as our land is not fertile. I also spent on plastering parts of our house to protect the walls from being washed off by rain water. The balance I spent building a kitchen (27,000 KES) that we needed badly.
