What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on Secondary school fee for our child (15,000 KES), increased my small scale (5,000 KES) business (selling fruits and clothes) because I used to be idle before and needed an activity to help me earn an income. I also enlarged our existing house and plastered it since it used to be small and again it was made of mud initially.
