What did you spend your third transfer on?
It was during drought and the hunger strike was so intense when I received my third transfer, so I spent some money on buying three sacks of corn for my family consumption. At least my family had something to feed on during this time. I also spent some buying utensils to replace the old ones I had. The remaining I spent on buying two sheep and clothing for my children.
