What did you spend your third transfer on?
I got my third transfer when my sister had stayed at home for one week due to fee arrears and we were doing casual jobs with her to get money for her school fees. I am glad I managed to used part of my third transfer on paying her fee and she went back to school . I also build a decent spacious house because previously, I was staying in a very bad house where my late husband left me. The remaining amount went on 5 goats and two cows, a dairy one and an oxen respectively which I intend to sell at a higher price later on to use the money on school fee for my children.
