What did you spend your third transfer on?
My husband used to do livestock business, but it collapsed due to lack of funds,so when I received my third transfer I gave my husband 20000 KES,to revive the business. The business is not doing well though, but we are surviving on it. The remaining amount I spent on building my house. I used to stay in a very squeezed house that could not accommodate me and my growing family. I now have a four roomed house.
