What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used a larger portion of my third transfer on facilitating the cost of building my house because I had bought most of the building materials but there were a few that were lacking so I used part of the money to buy them and used some on buying food for the labors who were constructing my house. I used part of the money too to boost my business and it has now picked and doing so well.

My biggest hardship currently is lack of a house. I live in a rental house because I lacked money for building my own house while the same time paying school fees for my children as a widow.
