What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my transfer on first settling some school fee arrears that my child had from last term in school. I then bought fertilizer for my rice farm and applied it because we normally use this to improve our harvest. I then spent the rest of the cash on building a new house and moving from my old house which was very old and almost collapsing.
