What did you spend your third transfer on?
We have been longing for a bigger house but since we were poor, it had been challenging to achieve the dream, remained with one option of living in the same small house, one that is overcrowded and poorly built, we had been living in. But when we received our third transfer, we saved the whole of it with the aim of using the money before the year ends to make building materials and build a bigger house made of bricks where all my household members will be able to live in with privacy that each of them deserves.
