What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my transfer on buying a cow which I will be keeping for milk and maybe when it calves I will sell the calf and pay school fee for my children. I then bought some building materials which were used on building my kitchen because I had been cooking out in the open and it was very cumbersome. I then bought a new steel door and installed it on my house. I then spent the rest of the transfer on buying food for my family.
