What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
My first plan is to use part of the transfer to build a bigger house because this one is small. The second plan, is to use another part of the transfer to buy a cow that would in future, provide us with milk for family use, because currently we are buying. Lastly, I plan to use the remaining amount to start a small business of selling fruits like bananas, oranges and others, to earn some income for my family.
