What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the whole of my third transfer on purchasing two dairy cows for milk production which we will start enjoying three months from now when they give birth. I plan to sell some of it to get money and use the rest in my house because currently, we use black tea because we can not afford KES 40 everyday to buy milk.
