What did you spend your first transfer on?
Since 2013, I was diagonised with mental illness and started treatment then. Therefore, I spent my part of my first transfer to buy my medication, shopping clothes for my entire family and myself. I am also planning to spend my other balance of 1,350,000 ugx to buy and stock ground nuts such that if prices go up, I sell and get profit to take me back to school.
