What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have a son who is in secondary school and his school fees was being paid by one of brother-in-law's who stopped and I feared him dropping out given that he had already been sent out of school. So when I received my third transfer, I took him back, I am glad he managed to go back to school. The remaining I spent on buying glass windows and steel door that I have since fitted. My house is so neat and presentable.
