What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used 30000 KES of my third transfer to pay college fee for my spouse to clear his balance so now he has the hopes of clearing his studied. I bought a cow because this was an agreement between my spouse and I so that he can use it in future to pay my dowry after he is done with his studies. I used part of the money to enroll my daughter in class one and used some of the money to meet my daily needs since my spouse is now a student and I'm the bread winner.
