What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent most of my third transfer on paying school fees for my three children in secondary school. I had not paid the year's fees so, when I paid this, I felt relieved. I also spent some money on buying some timber that I am planning to use to build a new house after my current house got destroyed by water and termites.

I spent my entire first transfer to pay school fees for children who are both in high school so that they could not be sent home for fee.

When I received the money, I did not have any money and my children had been sent home for school fees. I immediately withdrew the money, gave my children who were equally happy. Thank you GD.
