What did you spend your third transfer on?
When I received my third transfer, I had a child in secondary school who suffered a lot from lack of school fee and could spend most of his time out of school in search of school of school. I therefore paid the child some school fee. Secondly, I purchased a cow to help me save a portion of the transfer that should I experience any financial crises, I would find somewhere to place my hopes. Lastly, I gave my spouse a total of 10000 KES to purchase some household items that we lacked most in the house. An example was a bed and a mattress, kitchenware and some clothes for the family.
