What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have two children in secondary so I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for them. I am happy one is clearing high school without any arrears and the year is ending without them being sent out of school for fees arrears. Previously, I used to get money from my business and maybe talk to the school principal not to send them home. The remaining I spent on buying a sack of corn for my family consumes and two goats for rearing.
