What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used my last transfer to buy two cows to help pay my dowry, and then we had a debt of 2000 Kes to pay up to help us to finally acquire a motorbike, so we paid up and now we have our own motorbike which my husband uses to transport people. The remaining money I bought small household items like cupboard and buying the children clothes
