What did you spend your third transfer on?
I leased a one acre piece of land where I have grown sugar cane using part of my third transfer. This will help me in paying school fees for my son doing his last year in primary and will soon join secondary school. If I do not start early enough I am scared he might not go to school and again I am not sure if I will ever get any such an amount in the future, so I have to plan for it, Similarly, I paid school fees for my other son who is almost, clearing his last year in secondary. I used to pay school fees for him after applying for bursaries from the government which was not even a guarantee that he would get. I also spent part of it to replace a wooden door I had with a steel one.
