What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent most of my second transfer on paying school fee for my son in a boarding school. The son had suffered a lot as far as school fee is concerned. He spent most of his time out of school looking for his own school fee. Besides that, I purchased a sofa set to replace the old one that I had before. Lastly, I purchased food for my orphaned grandchildren.
