What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer transfer on buying solar lamp and my clothes . I bought two bags of maize for my family's consumption and paid school fees for my child who is in the university.Through this I have regain the peace of mind which I used to lack since I am not worried of paying school fees for him any time soon which has always been my biggest worry which makes me at times go to an extent of borrowing money from my neighbors or carrying out a fundraising .I also built a traditional house ''simba'' for my son.
