What did you spend your third transfer on?
When I received my third transfer, I spent 15000 KES on a sofa set, 5000 KES on a solar panel and the rest on food. My house never had chairs and therefore I was not confident to invite friends and visitors over my house and to make it worse, we never had enought food to eat and therefore we could feel hungry, tired and weak most of the time and therefore we prioritized food as well.
