What did you spend your third transfer on?
My husband makes culverts, so I spent most part of my third transfer on paying for mould to enable him make the culverts for sale at home. The remaining amount I spent on buying dust and cement for the whole process to be completed. I know when we sell them to contractors, we will get the money to build a new house soon. I have been longing for a new house and I thought this is the best way to get it. The remaining amount I spent on buying clothes and food for my children.
