What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the whole of my transfer on organizing for the burial of my co-wife who had passed on at the time the transfers were sent. It was so burdening that I really doubt if I could have made it a lone.I was so happy that I comfortably paid for the mortuary bills and availed all the resources to accord the late co-wife a good send off. May God bless Give Directly.
