What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on renovating my house by cementing the flour, fixing window panes and a steel door which I am proud of because right now my house looks decent. I also bought a bed and mattress since I had a small one and was using a spoilt bed. The remaining amount went towards paying school fees for my son who had perfomed well to join high school since I knew that he had a bright future through his education .
