What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on my farm. I planted groundnuts in my farm using modern farming technology. I was able to buy fertilizer with the transfer. This really increased the produce and I was able to re-sell the groundnuts and get double the profit. The profit I get helps me with my daily financial obligations and now I am not stressed up on where to get money for subsistence.
