What did you spend your third transfer on?
Since I had been jobless for a very long time, getting my third transfer was an opportunity for me to invest on something that could earn for us daily income and therefore when I received my third transfer, I spent on a second-hand motocycle that I use for taxi business, ferrying people and transporting goods in my area.

The moment I received my transfer, I felt so good for I knew most of my plans which I had in mind would work out smoothly.
