What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my two daughters in secondary school. The remaining I spent on buying a motor boat. Previously I had to row my boat using an oar which was quite hectic and tiring making long distance to fishing impossible. Now, I am able to go long distances and that means more fish and more money to my household.
