What did you spend your third transfer on?
I am a university student undertaking a self sponsored program. I used to be stressed up on where I would get money to pay for the remaining years of my college education. Immediately I got the money I decided to pay a whole year worth of fees in my school. I am no longer stressed up about the fee issue. The remaining part of the money I used to buy cattle which will eventually give birth to little ones and then I will resell them so as to get a continued source if income.
