What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used a portion of my third transfer to pay school fees for my child who is in high school because I did not want her to be sent home for school fees. I bought second hand iron sheets and chicken mesh which I have used to build a chicken coup where I am rearing chicken for sale and this is now my major source of income. The remaining amount, I spent on buying local breed of chicken to rear for business and also bought food for my family.
