What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used the money I received from Give directly to buy cement and sand that I used to plaster the house that I had before. I did this because it was hectic repairing my house every time since it consumed a lot of my time but now that I resorted to a long-term solution I'm safe and comfortable.
