What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my last transfers to buy a cow and goats which I have kept as an investment. I also paid school fees for my child for the whole year and I am now stress free. Lastly, I bought sofa sets and have abandoned my old wooden seats which were so uncomfortable.
