What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on paying school for my son, who was joining secondary school then. I have also been building a rental house that will at least be like my asset and help me with school fees payment for my children so the remaining I spent on finding that house. Even though it is not complete yet, it helped moving it somewhere. I am happy receiving this money.
