What did you spend your third transfer on?
I saved 10000 KES of my third transfer for use in case of emergency. My spouse is a photographer but he didn't have his own camera so I bought him a camera that he uses for commercial purposes, I also opened a business so that I can have a stable income unlike before that I didn't have a reliable income. I'm happy we now have a stable income and our lives has improved.
