What did you spend your third transfer on?
When I received my third transfer, I saved the whole amount in table banking with the aim of earning more interest and accomplishing my dream. My major plan is to construct a permanent house since I have been longing for a bigger and stronger one because the house I live in currently is semi-permanent and too tiny to enable us live more comfortably.
