What did you spend your third transfer on?
I added the third transfer to the previous transfer and bought a motorcycle so that we can use it to earn income. Since we did not have a stable income, we thought it would be wise to let my spouse use the motorcycle for taxi services which was a good idea because it is doing well. We are now able to meet our needs without many challenges.
