What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my money on medicine to help me recover from the pain I was going through after I had an accident. I also paid school fees for my children which was really bothering me.

I got all the prescribed medicine and I am improving well. No more pains in my body as earlier on. I had planned to sell some of my properties to help me pay school fees but because of the money I got, I won't sell anything.
