What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on paying school fee for my 2 children in secondary school. Initially I suffered a lot in raising these school fees, I had to walk all over searching for casual jobs to get some wages. I am happy that today I don't struggle anymore. Besides that, I thought it wise to start some cereals business during this period of cultivation. At least This business has always enabled me raise some daily income for the family.

When I received my first transfer, I invested the whole of it on a grocery. I am selling mangoes and this gains us daily income that caters for our household needs.
What are you planning to spend your upcoming transfer on?
My current house is pathetic and when I will receive this upcoming second transfer, I will build a semi-permanent house of 30 iron sheets. This would curb me from the effect of leaking roof.
