What did you spend your third transfer on?
When I received my third transfer, I had a pending debt for a land that I had begun paying for using part of my second transfer. I was living in a very squeezed piece of land which could not accommodate my family well. I therefore spent a half of my third transfer on settling part of the debt. In as much as I have not completed the payment of the land to own it fully but I have hopes that I will soon accomplish it. Secondly, I purchased a bull as an investment for the other portion of my third transfer bearing in mind that financial emergencies do arise at times. I thank Give Directly for the whole amount of money that brought me many changes in my life.
