What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent most of my third transfer on plastering the house that I had constructed using my previous transfers. I am so glad that at the moment I stay in a very beautiful house that everyone admire in the entire village. I no longer squeeze myself in the house as was the case before. Secondly, I cleared school fee arrears for my son in secondary school. He had accumulated a lot which could not allow him stay fully in school.
