What did you spend your third transfer on?
My wife is taking a curse in Early childhood development so part of the money I used to part of her school fees. I also started a business on retail shop. Previously I used to make bricks, but this could not sustain us and I had to supplement with other odd jobs. The story is different now as the retail shop serves us so well. I am happy and grateful for the money I received.
