What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the last transfer on buying livestock that I have always wanted to rear. I am rearing the livestock so that I can secure my future and that of my children as I can sell them and get money during financial constraints. Now I have something to hope of providing for my children without straining much. I also registered my children in school. I used part of the transfer to pay for their school fees, buy stationery and school uniforms for my children. I also bought some maize for family consumption as we had run out of our previous harvest.
