What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent 25000 KES of my third transfer on buying a cow for milk production purposes. I used to buy milk every day and this was so expensive on me. I am now able to save that money for my child who, is almost joining secondary school. The remaining I used to start poultry keeping. I thought I should start this along my corn business to get more income at least I am not idle.
