What did you spend your third transfer on?
I received my third transfer, but it was unfortunate my mother had just passed on. So most part of the money, I spent on her funeral expenses. Were it not for this transfer, I am not sure if she could have had a decent send off. The remaining amount I spent on buying a cow for milking and the rest to cater for my day to day needs of the household.
