What did you spend your third transfer on?
My son is not that intelligent so he never went to high school therefore for this reason thought of getting him to learn mechanic so I took part of my transfer to pay school fees and buy things that he will require for the schooling, I also bought cement to plaster the floor, I also used the transfer money to build a small house for him and the rest of the money I built a small kitchen.
