What did you spend your third transfer on?
When I received my third transfer, I had to clear school fees arrears for my children who are in secondary school. My other daughter had cleared her secondary school and was idle so I spent some of the money to enroll her for computer packages training. I also spent some of the money to boost my charcoal and beans business. I am now able to comfortably feed my family and educate my children. The remaining I spent on food.
