What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have two daughters in secondary school, so I spent part of my third transfer on paying school fee for one of them. My daughter loves education, so I hope when she clears her education, she might help educate her other siblings. I also bought a dairy cow for milk production using some money. I used to spend a lot on buying milk for my family consumes, now I do not spend a lot. The remaining I spent on buying a sewing machine. I am now self-employed and get me more income. I do not idle like before, and I am very grateful for the money.
