What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent most of my third transfer on paying school fee for my children in school. The first one is a university student who took a better portion of the transfer for his fee. The second one is a form one in a nearby secondary school. I have really struggled to raise school fee for this two sons whom I have a lot of hopes in considering the dedication they have placed towards their academics. I am happy that being poor, my children are fully settled in school, something that I least expected in life.
