What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on paying school fee for my daughter in secondary school. It was such a big burden raising her fee, I had to go extra mile searching for this fee by getting involved in some unfriendly casual jobs like quarrying, touting and many more that exposed my life to mysterious infections. Am so happy that I no longer do such.
