What did you spend your third transfer on?
By the time I received my third transfer I had a child in school who owed the school a huge amount of fee. I used a larger portion of the third transfer to clear the fee balance so now he has ample time for his studies. My house was too squeezed to fit my large family so I also used part of the money to add one more room and now we have enough space.

Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment when I received my money I felt happy and smiled. to be sincere at that time my child had stayed home for for sometime for fee break but I didn't have money to take him back to school so when I received the money I got relieved of the stress of raising his school fee.
