I got my second transfer when I hardly had even a cow in my compound and therefore I bought a cow with half of it then enrolled my 2 children in a college. I am glad that they are no longer staying at home while others are learning. I also anticipate that the cow will procreate and and increase my wealth stock to make education of my children sustainable.
