What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent part of my third transfer paying school fees for my children who are in college as for me education is a basic need and I feel my children should be in school. The remaining I spent on my rice plantation as this will help me raise more school fees for my children given that they are still in school.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent most of my second transfer to invest in rice farming because after production and sell of the produce I would double my money and get more to pay both school fees and college fees for my children and invest some in other business. I also paid college fees for my daughter because education is the best gift I can give to her and spent some on food and other household expenditures
