What did you spend your third transfer on?
When I received my third transfer, my son had been sent home for school fees so I spent part of it to clear the fees once in lump-sum. Previously I used to pay the fee in small amounts depending on how I get it. If I do not,that is when they end up being sent out of school. I am so happy he was able to go back soon enough. I also spent most of it to buy a cow that I am currently milking. The remaining amount I spent buying corn for my family consumption.
