What did you spend your third transfer on?
I live with orphaned children left behind with my relatives who are long dead so the responsibility of paying their school fees is left with me and any other thing that they require therefore when I received my last transfer I used most of it to pay their school fees and the remaining cash I bought sofa sets for my house this is because my last ones were old and worn out.
