What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent part of my third transfer on paying school fees for my son in secondary school. I am glad I managed to clear the whole year's school fees arrears. The remaining amount I spent on buying building materials that I used to construct a kitchen. I moved out of my mother-in law's kitchen. The remaining I spent on buying some personal effects and clothes and food too, for my family consumption.
