What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchasing 12 more pieces of Iron sheets that I had planned to use in extending my house which was previously very tiny and could not accommodate my family. I also paid school fee for my son who could rarely stay in school due to lack of school fees. Am so glad that the school fee is no longer an issue and he is comfortably working hard in school to achieve his dreams.
