What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on plastering the outer part and the floor of my house which was initially made of mud and was so prone to damages whenever it rained. Secondly, I paid school fee for 2 children in secondary school. I am glad that their year's arrears are settled and they would have ample time in school. Finally, I boosted my spouse fish business and as we s[peak the business is doing fine, and generating enough income to sustain the family.
