What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying furniture and utensils for my household. I also paid school fees for my son in secondary school. I used to get the school fees when I harvest rice, but after three months and other odd jobs. The remaining I used to lease a piece of land where I have grown sugar cane. This will help me in paying school fees for my son.
