What did you spend your third transfer on?
The furniture I had were not so nice and old-fashioned, so I bought very nice furniture using part of my third transfer and, I am happy my house looks like those of my other neighbors. Some amount I used to pay fees for my daughter in secondary school. I used to take loans from our table group to pay for her fees. This never happened as I paid the fees without having to take another loan. I am grateful for the money I received. Out of the whole amount I remained with some 2000 KES that I used to buy corn for my family consumes.
