What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my transfer on paying college fee for my husband because he had some arrears at college. I then sent some money home for my mother's medication because she has not been feeling well of late. I then spent some on buying a bed because I had been sleeping on the floor and then some corn of my family's feeding. I then invested the rest in a groceries kiosk business which is now my main source of income.
