What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying building materials that I'll use on building a big and descent house as my current house is old and also small to accommodate my family comfortably. I also spent part of the transfer on paying school fee for my children so that they are not sent home due to fee arrears and the remaining cash I spent on buying a bag of maize for family consumption.

When I will receive this my upcoming second transfer, I will build a semi-permanent house of 35 iron sheets. A house that we have currently is compromising our privacy and this is a major concern to me.
