What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer to complete a house I had started constructing using my second transfer. I used to stay in my brother's house and I thought of having my own house too. I also paid school fees for my sister who is almost, finishing his secondary education. My brother had been paying the fee since she joined secondary school, so when I received this money I thought I should relieve him. I paid a one year's school fees for my sister. The remaining I spent on food for my own consumption and a bed too as I did not have one.
