What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my transfer to build my family a house that costed me 30,000 KES. I really needed to do this because I have a laughing stalk for a long period of time for being regarded homeless. The remaining amount I spent on acquiring furniture for my household and other household expenses. This is a full filled dream and all credit goes to GD.
