What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my sister who is in high school. I am the first born in our family and we are orphans. So when I got the transfer I had to take up the responsibility of paying fees for my sister. The remaining part of the money I used in the acquisition of a motorbike which has really increased the level of income in our household.
