What did you spend your third transfer on?
When I received my transfer, I had two pressing issues at hand. First, my daughter was preparing for her national examinations with very huge school fee arrears. Secondly, my spouse had some court case which required him to produce a cash bail of 10000 KES. I therefore settled this two matters at hand. The remaining amount of money was spent on food for the family.
