What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on the acquisition of cattle. Some of the cattle was used for dowry by my husband. I used to stressed up because of the dowry issue. I never knew when exactly my husband would be able to go pay my dowry. I am now able to get milk from the remaining cattle in my homestead. The milk I sell in order to get income.
