What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my transfer, I purchased some livestock, that was 2 cows and a bull, which we planned to use in payment of my dowry. I am glad that the long term project that we could not implement due to extreme poverty was finally accomplished. The remaining amount of money I used in reviving my shop which had collapsed some time back.
