What did you spend your third transfer on?
My wife is a potter, so she had to carry the pots to the market and given that we stay in a bit of a steep place, carrying the pots on her head was a bit hectic so, I boat a motorcycle that aids her in transporting these pots to the market. At least her work is now is easier. The remaining I spent on paying school fees for my child in secondary school.
