What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I used most of it to pay dowry for my wife, with 2 cows, since my in-laws were really pressurizing me on the same. I then used 15000 KES to pay school fees for my child so that he is not sent home for the same. The balance was all spent on buying food stuffs for my family since we did not have enough food in the house.
