What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent part of my third transfer on paying school fees for my son who was in high school by then because he had a huge pending bill of school fees. Some amount also went on fixing a gate in my compound because previously the neighbor's cows used to roam inside my compound and in return destroy my farm produce which was a loss on my side and Finally, I managed to purchasing more water pipes which I still use on my farm to date.
