What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the larger portion my third transfer on paying school fees for my son who is in secondary school since I knew that getting fees would be a problem and knowing that my partner is not much into his education, this was the best way I could make him continue with his education. I also bought murram and sand hoping to establish my home because I currently stay at my inlaws place.
