What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have for a longtime longed to keep livestock, so part of my third transfer spent on buying a few goats and sheep. These act as my assets and maybe in future I will be able to sell and pay school fees for my children without much hustle like before. My daughter also had school fees arrears, so I had to clear it using part of the third transfer. I am glad she has been able to stay in school for a whole term. The remaining amount I spent on buying a mattress and clothes for my children.
