What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I used the largest share of it to buy 30 iron sheets, nails and timber which I will use to construct my new house when I receive the third transfer. I then used 10000 KES to pay school fees for muy child in secondary school because I did not have another source. The balance was spent on buying foodstuffs for my family because we did not have enough food in the house.
