What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have invested my third transfer in farming. Currently, I grow maize and groundnuts and keep livestocks-2 cows and a goat the investments I started with the whole of the money. From the livestock, I am able to generate organic manure that I use to grow crops in my farms, improving my harvests, especially last season I managed to reap a lot of maize and groundnut!
