What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have children in secondary and college and I have always been struggling to pay their school fees. When I received my third transfer I felt some relief and paid their school fees. One of sons have since graduated from the University with a degree in applied Biology. I am hoping that I will the remining will also clear school soon. The remaining I spent on buying building materials that I used to construct a house where my girls could sleep from . Previously they used to sleep in a very small house. It was not neat either and started a small scale business of selling household goods that helps me get income to sustain my family.
