What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on plastering our three room house for 35,000 to make it stronger since the soil here is poor and walls normally crack and this weakens mud houses. I always wanted to do it but had no funds, thanks GD. In addition , I paid secondary school fee for our child for 10,000 KES to support his learning.
