What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on the construction of a new house. My former house was in a very bad state because the walls of the house were almost falling down. I am at peace now that my family live in a decent house. Being a farmer, I used the remaining part of the money to buy pipes which I use for irrigation purposes. Formerly I used to hire pipes which the owners used to charge a very high amount when leasing them out to me. I am now able to save that money for other uses.
