What did you spend your third transfer on?
Buying cereals for my family consumption proved to be so expensive being that the living standards had gone high, so I ploughed my two and a half acre piece of land that I planted maize. Unfortunately they were destroyed by pests and I only managed to harvest one sack, though, I am still grateful. The remaining amount I used to buy furniture as the ones I had had worn out. I am so happy as I have moved a step forward.
