What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used a portion of my third transfer on 13 pieces of iron sheets, timber and nails which I have used to build a new house because I had a very small house which was very uncomfortable, I bought a cow for milking because I did not have livestock in my compound. I spent a portion to pay laborers who were building my house and the remaining amount, I spent to pay school fees for my child who is in high school and also to buy whatever I lacked.
