What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used 20000 KES of my third transfer on buying a fishing net which I use for fishing because I didn't have any source of income and I could only rely on people to let me work in their boats. I then used the rest of the money to open a retail shop which is doing so well and I'm planning to expand it with the income I get from fishing.
