What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used a larger portion of my third transfer to pay school fees for my child who is in high school because I did not have any other means of getting his fees, I bought sand and cement which I have used to plaster my house because I was tired of constantly smearing my house with cowdung. The remaining amount, I spent on iron sheets which I intend to use in building my son a house to sleep in because I want him to sleep near me to avoid indulging in bad activities.
