What did you spend your third transfer on?
Its been 10 years living in a ''come we stay relationship '' with two children ,this is because my husband had no money to formalize our relationship as the traditional customs says as a result of this my husband was disrespected with his in-law hence I spent the larger part of my third transfer paying off my dowry 30,000 KES . I bought three goats and two sheep.I also paid school fees for my two children who are in primary school.
